  1. No a mate of mine spotted one in The Coinery auction at the weekend that was much better ,bored i decided to look for another 😀 https://auctions.thecoinery.co.uk/catalogue/lot/8926bb53b9b01d6edf3d15ef57ebfa35/81b29ab6fa187a02a829c1899b734425/auction-29-a-general-sale-of-coins-related-numismat-lot-47/
  2. Just seen this on eBay ,Gouby records BP1888 B as having the common both broken I on Victoria. Must of used the same obverse die for 1889 ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314877869117
  3. A recent purchase from Gary and thank you 👍. 1967 Penny struck on a foreign smaller blank in error ,weighing 6.38 GR.
  4. He definitely had his computer hacked as kept getting daft emails from his address with links to click on etc. Although not had any for a while ,anyone else get them ?
  5. A couple of 1855 Pennies both really hard to find in grades above VF ,both purchased not attributed. DOT on Forehead & Three colons after FID.
  6. A new scarce one not attributed ,with the sellers scans. BP1874Nn , 7 over 7.
  7. It is an altered date with the 5 changed to a 4 ,he describes it right this time ,rather than the seller previously who was trying to sell it as a genuine 1843.
  8. Your top picture and the one Peck posted are both the scarcer REV C and probably were the difference is.
  9. Now back with the original person i sold it to. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126363259683?itmmeta=01HR8BS0TMEWMNMHGZ87Y2NN81&hash=item1d6bd65323:g:1uQAAOSwpmRl54AG
  10. Although i have had better a nice 1826 Penny REV C Thick line which are quite scarce.
  11. An 1893 over 2 i had ,tried to make the shield larger but would not allow me to post the picture 😀
  12. A recent purchase i have not shared on here and scarce year in high grade 😀 1870 NGC MS65.
  13. Seemed as good a place to post as any ,this in my opinion is ridiculous 😯 RWB Auctions - Fine Art & Numismatics Auctioneers based in Wiltshire | 1953 Queen Elizabeth II proof nickel brass Threepence, graded PF 69 Ultra Cameo by NGC (S 4152). Obverse: Mary Gillick's first definitive portrait... The sixpence went for over £1K and although they may well be nice and worth a premium ,those prices have gone out of sight.
  14. You have confused me Terry ,not sure what you mean "they are both Ac with the 0 to the left of a tooth "? The ones first posted are not over a tooth or 12 teeth ,they are to the right or do you mean the last two wider ones.
  15. Coin fairs are without doubt the best and forming your own opinion seeing the coin in hand. ,then if you take the coin home and not happy you can only blame yourself 😀.
  16. Even buying from pictures can sometimes hide cleaning and not be a true likeness of the coin in hand and we rely on an honest description ,yes i agree it is however much better with pictures unless your buying off a dealer who you can trust to describe and grade correctly. Just post it back for a refund and perhaps next time phone them up first to confirm the coin is problem free before buying ,or dont buy from them again 👍
  17. I have done a post on one of the facebook groups ,one of the members is now employed by eBay to help stop this with coin sales. I know he has a hard time looking at pictures of fakes ,1933 pennies ,coins of all different denominations etc , but hopefully he will be able to take some action. I will share your pictures if asked Richard ,hope thats ok.
  18. Yes me to ,its doing my head in 😀.
  19. I think a lot of the varieties put in the book were already catalogued in other books or information given him by other collectors as he mentions in the first copy of "Bronze coinage" only having 2000 halfpennies 1860-1970.The book was a study of dies and the indicators which he then gave a reference and only needed one example to be able to do that. The 1956 Halfpenny F474 R12 1001-2000 ,although collectors fifty years later are only aware of less than 10.
  20. I believe freeman had a deal with a local bus station in the sixties were he bought them all at face value , then went through them and took to the bank himself.
  21. Think its just my picture as using a magnifier looks the same as the top one and over a tooth. The third picture is a single exergue not double and from the ones i have looked at are all the same.
  22. The best narrow date i found ,which is photographed in a flip.
  23. I have never looked before Terry and thank you for bringing them to our attention. I have just had a quick look on American eBay and the first few i have looked at a couple appear to be the narrow one. Am i missing something and wrong or are they the right type ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204589827335 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126257870145
  24. I am glad my Grandaughter has grown up and the Elf has gone after what it did to me. Happy Christmas everyone and all the best 😀.
