If its of any help these are all the different date widths I have come across. And this one with normal spacing but for the 7s being closer together which is scarce

1945 Tripled 9 penny and a 9 over 9 Both these coins came up for sale with the same seller, advertised as 9 over 9s , but on closer inspection one turned out to be a a triple 9 . David J Groom lists a tripled 9 type, but as far as I know its not listed by Gouby ? . Anyway I personally have never seen a picture of one , Groom lists it as ex rare . The first picture In close up is the Tripled 9 . Second close up picture has indicators of the three 9s . No1 is the top and bottom of the first 9 , No2 is the bottom and right side of the second 9 , and No3 is the normal 9 . It also appears to have a 4 over 4 . Below is the 9 over 9 Gouby Bb

I thought this 1926 ME I picked up recently for £250 was quite a lucky find.

I have rung the wife and told her I my be a little late home

A little Christmas cracker joke . What do you call a Duck on Drugs A QUACKHEAD

What a stunner, and with just a couple of surface marks . 😄 George V half penny 1921 extraordinary tone | eBay

Funny thing , we fought for a Parliament and look what we've ended up with , a plutocracy !!

Thanks for that Michael , I knew that he was a Nepolionic Veteran, but because I found the picture on a French site, I assumed he was French . As you probably know he was pictured with a woman who I assume was his wife [ Picture below] . I used the picture because my wife thought there to be a resemblance to me 😟 . I do hope though that I don't look as grouch as he dose . Ironically my son in law has two ancestors who fought at Trafalgar , one of whom who lost a leg and survived , I myself had a three times Gr Grandfather named Thomas Mason who fought in the American War of Independence and was with Conwallis when he finally surrendered at Yorktown in 1781. He must have started his military career when he was recruited into the Third Reg. of Foot [The Buffs] in London, probably taking the Kings Shilling while drunk, as he then absconded only to be recaptured by a bounty hunter and sent to the Savoy Prison [ The converted old Palace which was where the Savoy Hotel now stands ] He went on to rise up to the rank of Sergeant and serve for twenty years.

I picked this one up recently , A stunning piece as you can see 😂.I wish . But , its an F21 3+d 1861 and on Richards rare list I payed sixteen pounds for it in a terrible state . Both pictures below and after a clean up

Yes its a 3+D ,

Well, I would love to be a Numismatist , but alas I'm an Oldmismatist 😧

That coin has the modified head found on the 1926 ME and on the 1927 ?

The one thing I have noticed that seems to be present on all genuine Victorian copper pennies, is the wider tooth under the 4 in the date , which shows up very nicely on your Picture Jerry oops make that Ian 😁
