30k another coin that will make it into some investment portfolio.

Is it yours Dave? How much?

Welcome The Coinery.

Been looking for one of those a long time.

That's why it's a series I am looking to complete.

Yes low tide!

Thanks Santa. According to that picture the porosity is confined to just Vicky's face and neck. In hand and under a glass it was a lot different.

In hand it looked 65% porous on the obverse. You aren't judging the coin by the photos posted online surely? Anyone happen to inspect the coin during the sale?

A Bob.

In a 100 years these will still be worth nothing more than the metal content less the melting costs.

Sorting through recent purchases. How was your weekend?

It sold and if I recall correctly the price was £1300. The coin was corroded on the obverse and had many a porous mark as though Vicky had endured a spectacular Smallpox spasm.

we could have more influence over own destiny

Looks like it was your day.

Out. Do we need reasons for doing the right thing?

Around £500

Santa after looking at your site one can say that the obv is similar the one shown below with close colon dots

Yes similar to lot 16 http://www.colincooke.com/collections/james_workman_pt1.html Quoting CC "BMC --. F--. Satin --. Similar to Gouby T but with re entered colon dots of which are smaller and much closer together, similar to those used on halfpennies. Unrecorded in any catalogues. Excessively rare, possibly unique." Since the sale has this become a recognised variety? Interesting halfpenny colon dots. Perhaps the colon dots were re-entered after all but accidentally used a halfpenny colon instead.

Calling Penny-bugs!!! Someone snapped this on ebay before I could, but can you tell me if this is what I think it is? The best way to find out would be for someone to tell me what is so peculiar about this coin. Based on your answer or answers I will know if I missed out on something mildly important. Thanks in advance to all those who tried.

Hennessy and ginger ale please! Richard's question about the 1882 penny is a classic. I would go for it at the right price, though the coin is a stinker for it will definitely plug a gap in my collection. The same can be said about the crosslet 1864.

I would prefer a 1933 penny in poor grade over any other penny in UNC

PCGS are the most consistent. Croydon coins you might want to take their attributions with a grain of salt. ANACS seem like the most conservative of the lot. NGC is potluck, I've had coins graded 63 regraded as 65.
