    Hi Larry , Though I don't know for sure, the most logical explanation is that a master die number 6 was first made, and the working dies were made from this , now it seem likely the die flaw was on that master so would then have appear on all subsequent dies, and that these working dies would have sometimes been themselves retooled giving further modifications now to be seen on coins from 1861 to 74.

    Hi Zoo, There are two sub types of F17 6+D and the 6+D* this may be another slight variation. Below D* has a curved rock up under the shield . D has just sea. See Richards Site Site. https://englishpennies.wordpress.com/victoria-bronze/

    The quality control on modern coins is absolutely appalling , its seems to be the same with all circulation coins , but you would think they could make an effort on a celebration issue. When you consider the detail and astounding quality of the coinage a hundred years ago in Edwardian times such as this 1903 penny , just a circulation issue, but so fine that it could be a proof. The flecks are just remaining lustre .

    Its just an 1882 penny that's been hand engraved, but I must say quite professionally done.

    Your right Richard Iv listed the Satin numbers they should be F22 F29 and F33 sorry Mick

    Its a funny thing Jerry, but if the copies were to be absolutely perfect , we would not now them to be copies at all, and except them as genuine, we would of course all be wondering where all of the new examples were coming from. This would have the effect of lowering the average price of all the coins, genuine and fake.

    Hi Mick. The one you have as F24 looks to me like an F27 4+d The F32 looks like an F33 6+d And the F28 is really bad but I would guess an F36 6+g. Terry

    Gouby was sent a picture of one in 2010 , but never actually handled the coin. There is in fact three types but the middle one is so similar to the normal one as to make it extremely difficult to tell them apart. I should add that although slightly rotated the 1 is also closer to the 0 than on the other two.
  16. terrysoldpennies
    Yes Mike, but I don't think he knew it was the unlisted 2+B type.

    My best three finds over the past few months. The 1937 is amazing I feel its FDC, and thanks to a tip off from Pete

    Paddys right Zoo. yours is an Reverse H
  22. terrysoldpennies
    This is the wave type
  23. terrysoldpennies
    I'm inclined to agree with Ian that its ghosting from a die clash with the toothed edge on the reverse die, as the shape of the marks don't look to be formed from the letters in LC WYON , and anyway LC WYON would have to be present on the reverse die to be transferred over onto the obverse die. So F16 for me
  24. terrysoldpennies
    It also looks from your picture to have a narrower rim than the normal Rev. 4 . Its an interesting one , ether of your possible explanations could be true Richard.
