    Rob, do you know if there's a picture anywhere of the Adams Proof ?? Terry
  2. terrysoldpennies
    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.

    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
  9. terrysoldpennies
    This is the wave type
  10. 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

    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.
  12. terrysoldpennies
    Its a real Chinese penny
  13. terrysoldpennies
    I can say its a definite Obverse 7 as its the older portrait of Victoria and the gap between Victorias head and the out edge of the coin is large, on the 6 its quite close

    Hi Pete, the Ja often has a slightly rotated N in ONE as this example also has, so as the coin is both worn and damaged, and I couldn't be sure, I said it looks like a Ja, ?????
  15. terrysoldpennies
    It looks like a Gouby K+Ja a Variety of the Freeman 7+h
  16. terrysoldpennies
    When you consider it , its surprising that a 180 degree inversion on the N hasn't happened more often, as it could so easily be overlooked

    This is how the Americans grade them.

    Ian , its a Halfpenny Obverse shown with a Reverse d From a 1908 penny. The obverse has a 157 Teeth
  19. terrysoldpennies
    It looks like a 1+d , can it be, or is it a case of the wrong obverse picture placed with the reverse. Tony Clayton stated that one example has been found. Did you buy it Ian ????
  20. terrysoldpennies
    No rob its caused by Coastal Erosion. common problem with metal detector finds
  21. terrysoldpennies
    No this is half the missing coin type.
  22. terrysoldpennies
    OOps that's my bugger up. anyway we collect the refined Milled, not that primitive Hammered stuff.
  23. terrysoldpennies
    That's with unworn coins, I have a couple that are worn, and its very obvious as the ear is totally untouched with the rest of the head badly worn.
  24. terrysoldpennies
    Yes your right Pete, but the same principal applies , It seems unlikely that a test die would be given a broken tooth for recognition, as at around this time increasing or decreasing the number of teeth was used, as with the 1908 164a and the 1911 hollow neck .
  25. terrysoldpennies
    Bearing in mind that what we refer to as a broken tooth, is the result of a partial blockage of one of the tiny indentations around the edge of the die that form the teeth. its not unlikely that the hole started to block during 1915 then gradually built up, but during this period a small piece of the blockage may have broken away again, only to them build up again giving the variation in the size of the tooth, this may explain the out of sequence 1915 coin of Zoos
