  1. Considering the amount of wear, it's surprisingly good! Good edges & no nicks, dings or scratches.
  2. I was going to send you this nice 1872 for your lowest grade collection but I've not got your address...
  3. You're quite wrong Pete, I'm from Yorkshire.
  4. I bet there's someone out there who's been carrying a 1967 penny in with his change since...oo...about 1967. And not all of my coins, obviously. I got a few from you.
  5. Suddenly my collection seems a whole lot more interesting.
  6. Thanks Bob, I'll take a look. Edit: All is now clear.
  7. Thanks, I hadn't realised there were two different 7s - the LCA auction picture I looked at had the long 7. Do you get both 7s in wide and narrow date?
  8. Slabbed as a small date, but I think it's large. Can someone confirm please? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1857-Great-Britain-Penny-Small-Date-VF-DETAILS-NGC-COIN-POP-1-RARE-/332051526849?hash=item4d4fd034c1:g:pIUAAOSweWVXfAVD
  9. Well he's been hanging on in there for a fair old time. Or is it the terminal illness otherwise known as "life"?
  10. It's funny you should mention this seller - I saw this yesterday but couldn't quite get past the listing title to get to the coin.
  11. Please keep us updated of how it comes along.
  12. Look forward to seeing the results - I reckon that's a great little find.
  13. From what I've read, about the rest of your life should be a good start.
  14. Think he tells fibs too: "I have never seen an error close to this on this penny series" What about the other 3 then?
  15. I thought someone might for the price, and I'm pleased you've had it Brian. I nearly did myself, but not really my thing. I thought the same as Rob, although in my head it went more like: "It's not post mint, you can still see his lug'ole."
  16. Thought this might interest someone?
  17. This should help.
  18. Recessed ear variety too. ?
  19. Today I took this to Format Coins in Birmingham, where Garry Charman took not much time at all to confirm it is 100% legitimate. He did say it had had a hard life. 90% knackered, perhaps, but genuine. ?
  20. Ok, at least they didn't mess you about. Wonder how he got on with LCA?
  21. Do you think these might both be the same thing bagerap? Certainly seems similar here, to me:
  22. Must get my detector out. It's only about 30 years old.
