1949threepence Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 They're so difficult to get in high grade. Quote
jelida Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 I was pleased to spot this as a 'buy it now' on Ebay, so I bought it then! Purchased on the first, it arrived today! I had been tracking it through Ebays 'Global Shipping' system, finally I can sleep at night. F24, with the missing top leaf. Cost me £150 all in, £40 of it postage via 'Global Shipping', what a p-i-t-a. But I wasn't going to argue, under the circumstances. One for your 'Rarest Pennies' page, Richard. Jerry 12 Quote

So yes, very, very well played Jerry. 2 Quote
Paddy Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 I spent a little money at DNW and filled a gap in my Crown collection: 4 Quote
VickySilver Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Paddy, that's always been my favorite date. I have a soft spot for Wreaths as it is them that started me collecting..Very nice honest specimen there! 1 Quote
scott Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 in a bulk buy I got the other day, in the new coins thread £2 for this, an 1879 narrow, a decent 1937 and average 1874 i havn't checked yet 1 Quote
Paddy Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Quite pleased with this one as an upgrade. I am now happy that I have all the 20th century pennies that are achievable in an acceptable grade for me. (Which means I can focus more on all the other upgrades I need to achieve!) 8 Quote
1949threepence Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Now got an 1897 O .N E penny (F147) courtesy of Bob @RLC35 I'd estimate at EF. Nice coin and another Freeman currency type box ticked. 9 Quote
Iannich48 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 I managed to get this nice coin, and it filled a gap too. 7 Quote
PWA 1967 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Yes that is nice .........struggling to see the date properly on a small picture but is it an 8/6 ?. Any chance of a bigger picture of the OBV or DATE ☺️ Edited August 18, 2018 by PWA 1967 Quote
Iannich48 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Hi PWA, it is an 1856, so no overdate. I will try for a bigger picture though. Quote

1949threepence Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Really pleased with the 1870 penny I just bought off e bay as an upgrade to my current one. An UNC choice example, with residual lustre and nice toning. The original listing is here and these are my photos:- 8 Quote

Iannich48 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Hi guys, this coin is for sale at a good price. Does it look genuine to you? The obverse beads look a bit weird or is it just me? Quote

The obverse beads look a bit weird or is it just me? They're not beads, they're teeth. It's a toothed border. I'd say it was genuine, but it looks somewhat pitted - maybe water damage? Also, that's obverse 6 - so unless it's a Freeman 17, it's not going to be an 1860, and you can only ever have a beaded border on an 1860. Quote

1949threepence Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Well the near BU 1891 I bought from an e bayer in Norway has arrived. Absolute bargain, and apart from a very slight blemish on the reverse near the trident, and three negligible spots on the obverse, it's perfect. BU, but the lustre has slightly toned to a really deep orange. Despite all the hassle with paypal a few days ago, I'm really pleased. I know the 1891 is common, but scarcer in this condition:- 6 1 Quote
