    Various Country Grades
    what about for Portugal?

    That should read a 1860 British 1 penny C1
  5. hazelman
    Secret Santa mentions in his varieties an obverse C1 - which is easily identified by the the fact that the "linear circle on the left, ends at the 2nd bead below the bust". Has this ever been found on a thin rim?

    Gary what programme did you use to record your collection?
  7. hazelman
    thanks to you both this has clarified all my concerns.

    Help ! Going through Michael Gouby Specialised Penny Edition it has a section on Trials,Proofs and Anomolies. Well I think im comfortable with proofs which if im correct tend to be created with polished dies giving an almost mirror like field, but what is a Trial? or rather how would you identify a trial? Traditionally in the sense of trial id think this would be carried out in the design period and post design it would be put into production so even the 1st coin would end up in circulation?. Oh and what is are anomolies?
  9. hazelman
    So very true

    Thanks for that - I can just about see the possibility of a 6 - my astigmatism doesnt help - just going through your varieties again as you posted. Such a useful resource - have you bound any hard copies yet?

    Its seems to me that though I have been collecting for what seems like forever and now I have what i would consider a decent coin collection I still struggle identifying the varieties.

    Hi all does anyone still have a contact for Peter Nichols?
  13. hazelman
    Gents looking for confirmation - this penny has 138 teeth ,Colon dots of D:G point to a gap and colon dots of F:D point to a tooth which according to Secret Santa is Gouby E. Are we agreed on this. In which case this would be a rather rare penny.

    Will take a few other pics. This was done with a lightbox my nephew made.The only editing I did was increase the sharpness. Yes it does look similar in the hand. Looks best on this colour background.Used my iPhone.

    Hi Team, As some of you might know ive struggled getting decent pics of my coins. I believe I have now cracked it with my new set-up. Would value your guys input on whether this is now a decent pic
  21. hazelman
    yep im sitting in the same place - thanks
  22. hazelman
    Thanks Jerry and grade?

    Ive just purchased my very first 1860 Beaded Penny but am failing to identify it as per Gouby. Here is my problem Gouby states Obverse B = 'O' of SO above colon dot after D: of F:D - yes Hair curls forward and down - possibly - only 3 hairs point down "R" and "E" touch at the base - yes Obverse C = as B however Eyeline vertical - i think yes Inner rim much thinner - well yes its thinner than the Reverse The Reverse i think ive got = B therefore im going for 1860E With regard grade how would the experts in the forum grade this coin. Apologies re the cr*p pictures.
  24. hazelman
    I have never got the art of taking pics - all mine are cr*p hence my hesitance. Here goes

    Just another sunny day in paradise - why you might ask, well after looking for years to find an 1860 Beaded Penny i have just bought one. Ive wanted one that wouldnt cost too much and wouldnt be a washer. Ok its not Unc or even EF, but its better than Fine. So im a happy chappy.
