Beautiful, would have been a good price even for a standard F10!

Well my Freeman 69 from John's halfcrown and penny auction through PFK, arrived today. Very pleased. I do genuinely think it deserves a spot in this thread, as it's not often you can get such a rare coin in VF or above.

There are a few slight edge knocks, and a bit of a divot from the Shield across the upper part of Britannia's legs, which don't detract given the rarity. Otherwise problem free. Fields are nice and clear.

Nice one Mike, good pickup! 

btw...Have you ever noticed the large number of coin collectors named Michael? Michael Freeman, Michael Gouby, and Michael (1949Threepence)! :)

Very nice coin, Mike. It's a little more common than the F76 but there aren't many nice ones around.

Thanks chaps. Until you recenly posted a pic of a GEF example, Richard, I'd never actually seen one better than fine. The vast majority less than that. So it was with great satisfaction that I anaged to bag that one for such a relatively low price.

Yes Bob, there do seem to be a few Michael's about. But none of us Michael's take the Mick, we're all serious :P

Nothing exciting a 1908 F164...... i only bought it as you dont see many of them.

Or maybe its just that i have a coin buying addiction :o

Bit like me then :ph34r:

The F164 is not actually touted as a scarce coin. But in UNC condition it's going to be far from common. You got it for a neat price. 

Surprised Matt didn't have one in his collection though.

If anyone is reading this :)

The one listed without a picture on the Mark Rasmussen site is a F166........ i know as returned it and although he agreed he has not changed the description.

Just bought on Ebay a nice example of the 1905 with smaller zero in the date as reported by Terry Eagleton earlier this year.

I wondered if that was you bidding Richard.  Nice buy , they seem to be pretty scarce.      Terry

Can I have a Freeman number for this please anyone. Also, the E in PENNY looks like an F, although the end of it can be seen

It's a Freeman 52. 

Probably a worn die caused the E to appear like an F. Bit like the 1860 Gouby X - "ONF PENNY".

My Freeman 25 has the right arm of the Y of PENNY, partially missing in much the same way.
