Penny Acquisition of the week

Recommended Posts

I do carry a booklet of indicators to which I can refer if needed,  and the summary pages from Michael Goubys book, and I do ask to check everything that might be of interest- I am sure I have checked some coins several months running!  But there is of course the element of luck, it has to be there for me to find it! 

There are still plenty that I need, especially C20 varieties.

I have an apology to make, I posted the wrong pictures as the F175, instead those of an F174 I bought on the same day! Thanks to Terry for pointing this out. And thanks to those who posted kind comments anyway! I can be such an idiot at times!

I hope this is right.

Don't worry, Jerry. I did exactly the same thing a week or so back, when I posted pics of my F28, instead of F25. Easily done.

I am yet to come across a better F175.

Wow, really love that golden lustre when found - I just bought a 1912 farthing that has it (for a princely total of USD 3.25).

Yea, best to keep it under that hat for a bit, just in case.

 

I could recently scarce contain my excitement on winning a bit from eBay that was evidently recognised but certainly not appreciated for the unique item that it is.

I think you only get a certain amount of time before the edit function can no longer be used. Hopefully @Nordle11 can make a small edit

Ah yes, lol, forgot. Funnily enough, the dealer i got it from has sent another packet addressed to me, i thought, why 2 packets? Turns out he's also sent me someone else' coins that were meant for someone in Italy, roughly about 20, i hope to deal with him again :D
