    Definately a knock or error of some kind. Not sure if it is during minting or post mint. Will take a close up if I can get the light right.

    Hi Chingford, thanks for that. So this is probably an early example of this fault. Have you a picture of a later variety. Thanks

    I can edit as long as its less than 1 min!!!!! Just tried it after that it takes me to the edit page then states I dont have permission. Anyway back to the coin

    It has happened nearly everytime I have tried to edit one of my posts Rob, since I first joined the page. Most the time its fine as I don't have to edit, but if I have made an error or stupid mistake its just nice to be able to edit!

    Hi All Was looking through my coins today and noticed a dot on the obverse of my 1853 penny. It isn't the best specimen but its mine and I like it It is between the I and A of GRATIA - GRATI.A Is this a known error/die defect? Thanks Brian

    Hi Folks, Just to keep you all updated I recieved the coin and it was just a nasty worn out standard 1903. It cost a little under 3 Euro inc of P&P so only about £2 wasted so worth the risk at that. Nevermind, back to the hunt Cheers Brian

    Thanks Jerry. Have to say it wasn't the easiest to identify. I wish it was one of the other none "H" versions as this is the commonest at R12. Cheers Brian

    Hi Bernie I have studied the coin closely with a magnifier and definately no H present or any sign of it ever having been there. As for Obv 12. I thought 1874's only went up to Obv 10! Cheers Brian

    Hi All After Pete quizzed me yesterday on a coin I just thought I would have a go at identifying a Victorian Halfpenny I got for free. (By the way thanks Pete, totally appreciate all the help you have been giving me). Anyway, I think it is Freeman 316 - Obv 9 Rev J. Have I got it right? As I seem to be picking up a few Victorian pieces lately thought it was time I started actually looking into them a bit more. Thanks all in advance. Brian

    Sticking up for my coin now

    I would say mine was slightly better than Chris' 1924. The nose definition on rev and also the scratch across the lower bust on obv surely should reduce grading to less than mine. Plus as I said it is better in hand than the photo would suggest.

    Thanks guys totally appreciate your time in answering. So £8 including p&p was ok then.

    Very nice.

    Hi Everyone I am not really a silver buyer but saw this and just liked the look of it. Think I did OK but would be interested in the grade. Definately looks better in hand. Thanks all in advance! Brian
  16. bhx7
    Thanks for the advice Pete, as always its totally appreciated. Cheers Brian

    I see what you mean. When I get it in hand I will take some better shots and post them.

    Will let you know when it arrives Rash. Only litteraly a couple of pounds wasted if it turns out to be just a worn out ordinary 1903 so no harm.

    Another coin fault I have just managed to buy. A 1920 Penny with blocked 2.
  20. bhx7
    I am with jelida on this one. The two half farthing photos are the same coin. All the marks are the same. Two small black marks at the bottom left of bust in a line to the "o" of Victoria. White dot at "G" / 3 o'clock. Crud on rim above "c" of Victoria. No question the same coin.
  21. bhx7
    It was the top that was bothering me. Its not brilliant but may do as a temporary gap filler for my collection. I missed out on Rash's on Ebay. It made a great price!

    Hi All Is this an Open 3 penny. I know the condition is terrible but just want to know your thoughts. Appologise for the bad quality images. Thanks

    Hi All A friend of my has had an interesting find in a local wood buy an old set of mining cottage ruins. It is a lead imprint of George III, not sure if it could be a Halfpenny or maybe a medal or token of some kind. Anyone any idea's. I am looking forward to seeing it in hand as it looks intriguing. Let me know what you all think. I have added the original image and it flipped. Sorry for the quality of the image it isn't mine. Cheers Brian

    Looks like it was struck through a lamination. Thanks Mr T, totally appreciate that. Just nice to be able to name the defect.

    Cheers Ian, now everyone thinks I'm a cheapskate, wait, I am ??. The two 1915's were in the £4 bag and the error coin in the expensive bag ?. Also managed to get almost a full run of decimal halfpennies bar 3. The meeting was great and enjoyed the auction and the banter. Cheers Brian
