  1. I don't think Freeman made these varieties. Or did he? Anyone think the 1897 dot penny has a F number?
  2. One of the most discussed denominations.
  3. I also have a 1865 for sale. I can send pics.
  4. A couple of 1933 pennies would be fab. Hazel I have a 1863 penny that I may want to flog. Its UNC in my opinion but quite conservatively graded PCGS MS 62 RB. Drop me a PM if you are interested with an offer.
  5. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPER-RARE-ONCE-IN-A-LIFE-TIME-AUCTION-FOR-OFFERS-1860-PENNIES-RARER-GOLD-/301834919230?hash=item4646c35d3e:g:0OMAAOSwJcZWf-O3 A bargain!
  6. from those pictures
  7. Cant say much about it
  8. or a slender 3
  9. Good luck could be a 2. But not an Open 3
  10. Time to start saving
  11. The coin is still given a grade JAC True but not the number if you see what I mean. It's like the American TPGCs they will say UNC Details but not MS^$RB for instance. Similarly CGS would say XF but not say CGS 70. I should have been a bit more clear :-) Any purchases of late?
  12. Welcome to the forum.
  13. Verdigris is a Green substance that sticks to coins, like rust does to iron. It corrodes coins and can hence have a serious say on what the coin is worth. CGS reject coins with verdigris. They will encapsulate the coin but won't give it a grade. I would reckon this coin will top at around £180.
  14. He has Prax showing up as a friend on his profile. How did someone like Prax befriend this guy in the first place?
  15. Who is this Timbo ummm rather pain at the rear end. Sounds like a Nigerian scammer to me
  16. However one thing is for certain. The top part of the 3 does not conform to an Open 3 variety.
  17. As you can see your coin does not have a upward curve for the lower portion of the 3
  18. However the important thing is the lower portion of the 3 does not curve upwards at all. So I should say not the traditional open 3 but the 3 is definitely open. better pics would help.
  19. It does not look like a Open 3 But it looks very interesting. The Open 3 has a curved lower serif but this coin has a horizontal serif. Looks like a new variety to me.
  20. Good luck. I was watching this coin but it did not look like a open 3 to me. I might be wrong for you know what ebay pics are like.
