Morning all. Perusing as one does I picked up a coin from a toot box 1863 Penny. Noticed a few differences in the colons..The top colon after D: is missing completely the top colon after D. G: is a sideways oval shape and the bottom colon after F:D: D: is smaller than all the others. Any significance?

( coins I had to buy to get the coin I wanted from the lot but Still £4 for 9 edward VII pennies with 1908 star of the lot. I think a great deal not going to set the auction rooms alight but it's respectable

Nice little lot all @Melt Vatican City Pope commems . Again not really my thing but silver and cheap as chips be rude not to

My expired passport is in the same place

Rule of thumb never put anything away in a safe place. Because as sure as the sun rises and sets every day that safe place will be that safe you won't even know where it is

If he's anything like me. I always mislay the bloody thing when it sells. Sits right in front of me the rest of the time. Only when I need to post it does it go MIA lol. That's my Mantra. " The coin in the picture is the exact same coin you will receive" Coz I Is an honest bloke aint I lol.

What is that marking in the right hand recess? First one looks ok 2nd one looks like it could of had a wipe over Hard to tell from pics.

Another 1937 couldn't let it go for 75 pence would be sacrilege

On that note i'll pop this in as well was there any wide rim 1967 pennies? I know the 1967 half penny had wide rim obverse but I have not come across reference for wide rim 1967 pennies. I stumbled on it looking at the tridents and beading and rim finishes on the coins. I have only taken a real quick 7 coins and photography are all identical from the scope. It looks like some had the beading sitting right under the rim but this only seems to happen on the coins that look like a more wired rim and the coins with beading away from the rims only appeared on the square angled flat rims. I marked the wide rim with arrow top left the other two arrows are the rim differences and relationship to the beading

Hi gents and ladies I was trying to get some better shots of my 1837 BRRITANNIA Sixpence so I thought i'll give it a quick check over everything make sure I haven't missed anything. I noticed that a lot of the William IIII coins esp shillings and sixpences have the IIII recut Obviously they must of had a severe problem making an I that stayed in 1 piece . Looked at mine and I first thought yes recuts but they are not. You look on the picture ans they are Inverted 1 over inverted 1 all 4 of them. Did this happen a lot? I know they were pretty ingenious with the ideas for repairs

What does WRL stand for? Worse Replica Lump?

The daddy of them all. I nearly was going to cough up 9.99 for it just as a something to put in the year gap. Not the greatest but far from the worse I have seen and they aged it well.Got to hand it to them the restrike guys are definitely getting better

What about a garage job? Someone cut up a penny put the piece on top and under a press vice left the indent to look like a partial brockage?

Oh totally agree I am just quoting LCA and seeing as they are the graders as well This is their designated marker for open 3 " The variety confirmed by the 3 having a curved downward diagonal stroke," So you can see it can cause confusion when you have one with a curved downstroke.

Thanks Ian. a close up shot

Just arrived. Sorry pics a little naff but you can see it at least Proof 1937 penny missing waves.

By the size of the loop in the bottom of the 8 it aint an 8 either

I thought the point of contention with open 3 was the downstroke was curved . That has a curve and from the ones i have seen they either point directly at the middle of the six or between the middle and the bottom?

Don't know if this floats your boats guys Noble Numismatics auction 21-27 november 2017. Some real nice coins on offer hammered right the way through milled inc 1905 unc shilling est $1500. tad skinny i feel http://www.noble.com.au/auctions/search/?ar=1&c=39&g=Any%20grade&q=&e=Any%20estimate&p=1

Yes /no?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I was waiting for that lmao. Bloody snipers

Looks like S2097 roses by bust Edward IV Groat But your guy looks a lot friendlier than the picture in the book lol. But I am far from qualified to give a definite answer that was the closest to what you have and all the markings seem to match to a fashion. I am sure the hammered guru's will put you right

Kudos to him fair play. Really that is all anyone wants especially when they don't realise what they have. Better than the standard GFY you normally face

Actually by all accounts the RM stated that the Pemember coin was not an error the right leg downstroke of the R was masked by the reeding . Strange though that only this coin was chosen to be published. If you look at all the early silver Charles II most of the coins are of that type either standard B with the bottom or the top missing.Yet none of those were chosen for publication as an error type designated as RR for BR or inverted RR for BR? Unless I missed anything thumbing through. But I understand the premise with F. being a broken E but yeas it does look like an F. Unbarred A or inverted V's look as the description I just feel that this particular error because of the way R,s are made doesn't really hold as much validity . It is the pretender to the throne error
