No,not that one.
A date or even a reign for a hint would be nice . I cant see any other 1911 hollow necks with a bid , unless it is in a multiple lot.

It could be this Mick http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1911-One-Penny-Georgivs-V-Nice-Coin-Take-a-look-1-/252978713731?hash=item3ae6b4d483:g:yV4AAOSwfRdZErPV GoubyX. Terry
Thanks Terry , I had a quick glance for open 3,s 1903 and hollow neck 1911's ,but missed that one .

There is a uncommon penny in the ebay.uk auction site. I have placed a bid on it hoping that it won't get pulled. Nearly every time a rare coin appears on ebay it gets withdrawn. The possible reason for this could be that the coin appears to have little interest because of bidders habits of not bidding to the last minute. I suspect that the sellers get offers to buy before the auction ends. I have no intention of winning the coin that I mention but hope that collectors wishing to own the coin for their collection get a fair crack at it. The expectation of hoping that know one else will recognise the rarer coins is ridiculous, so my advice is to believe that many people will immediately recognise the variety and place a bid, even if a low bid, just to show your interest.
A hint would be nice Bernie .there is a few on there lol

the 2009 proof sets are going for £200-250 on ebay (checked recently ,cos I have one ). no idea of the value of the other folders .
-
definitely a Northern Ireland .
-
It sounds like Davies would be the one to go for as my early milled are sporadic at best. My collection is mainly modern milled ,some are not the best condition ,but they are getting upgraded regularly .I will pm you Rob ,
-
The other one I have of a lesser grade (with barred A's) appears to be the same dies as yours .Think I need to get a copy of Davies or ESC ,what would you recommend ?I already have Grooms .
-
It's definitely a different reverse (the 1st 8 and 5 are different .The obverse may be the same ( the wear on mine makes it more difficult to confirm),but if I had to put money on it I would say they are different too .It seems odd that different dies of the same year would clog in the same places .

And the reverse if you want to check for a die match
Very nice ,I will have a look when the kids go to bed and calm returns to the household lol.
-
This isn't mine ( borrowed from Michael Goubys site, hope thats ok ),but It is identical to mine .
-
The odds are against them being from the same dies ,but how common are the Unbarred A's ? The only one I could find was on Michael Goubys website ,with quite a hefty price tag (£125 for a F+).I suppose If they are say 1 in 20 (5% population) then the probability is higher that they are the same die .They could be common ,that is what I was really trying to ascertain from the more knowledgeable collectors like yourself ,Rob
-
I wish i could get better pics up .a couple of the A's are more like triangles ,as if the serifs are joined together with no bar .its quite an interesting coin .as you say ,its wear and tear .the one i was replacing has bars ,but they are weaker than they should be .so are obviously an earlier strike .
-
Thanks for the reply .I will list it as an error then .
-
not the clearest ,but they are obvious with the naked eye (not mines , my eyes are done)

I just bought an 1858 shilling and found out it has unbarred A's in GRATIA and BRITANNIA .Is it a common error ? Bought as a slight upgrade to the one I had which has barred A's .
Will post pics when I work out how to Lol

definitely northern ireland .

Seller that drives me mad as your aware Jerry a lot are wrongly attributed and that many i am sure he must know ,although i admit to buying one off him a few weeks ago .
The name rang a bell for me .so I just spent nearly half an hour searching feedback to see what I had bought off him .Ends up it was only a Phillippines 10 peso emergency note for £1.20 . serves me right for being bloody nosy lol .No idea how I remembered as It was nearly a year ago ,especially as I cant remember what I was doing 3 days ago .

I am curious to see what feedback will be left .
