Better than average specimen as well Only the second one I've seen where the top of the ear is still intact (the other being the far superior one Terry found), although no doubt there are plenty I haven't seen. Chuffed to bits, and the seller included a free halfpenny too. 1 Quote

Yes, I've added these 1902 Trials to my rare penny website - there's an interesting combination of obverses and reverses, all interchangeable. Quote

Yes.When i was doing some research i found this link quite interesting.Not just pennies but other denominations ,some of which have been asked about previously on here. https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/special-collections/foreword.php?specialcollection_id=160 If anyone is interested you can click on the tab at the bottom and some have footnotes as well as descriptions. I believe there are a few others about ,but as i mentioned just a bit different. Edited March 24, 2019 by PWA 1967 Quote
Iannich48 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, i think that i have just purchased an f175. The reverse is definitely B, but i cannot upload the picture. So hopefully, this is an obverse A. It was cheap anyway. And it is 1913. Probably an f176. Regards, Ian Edited March 31, 2019 by Iannich48 Quote
PWA 1967 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) That would make it a F177 Ian . Although unsure what REV you mean ? Its OBV 2 though. Edited March 31, 2019 by PWA 1967 Quote

So if it is reverse B, it's a F177. Quote
Iannich48 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Ok cheers, i could see that the colons after IMP did not line up quite right, but the colon after BRITT seemed like obverse A. Oh well, i will keep looking. The reverse is B, i have no doubt. Edited April 1, 2019 by Iannich48 Quote

Iannich48 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Thank you for that indicator PWA, i will make a note of that and try not to make that mistake again. Quote
Peckris 2 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 You get a 'feel' for Obverses 1 and 2, and Reverses A & B after a while. I could see that was the second obverse even without checking the teeth. Quote
secret santa Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Obverse A Obverse B A & B much closer together on obverse B Quote
PWA 1967 Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Yes the gap is the first one i look at. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/George-V-1913-One-Penny-Coin-Collectors-King-George-5th-/202639009952?nma=true&si=RoK94v15yq838hgYv7cnTr69aSs%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Maybe all the posts on here about 1913 pennies even sellers are checking them now ,this Rang F175 was listed and taken off straight away a couple of days ago although not really worth much more than a couple of £.

blakeyboy Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Got this off the Bay a couple of years back. Same tilted 1 and 7. Which of course it would be. Are they going for good money now, or are they still too uncommon? Quote

Michael told me one time that he did not assign #'s to items he had not actually seen and verified, instead he made a footnote listing only. 1 Quote
blakeyboy Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Oooh yeah- hadn't noticed that.... cheers Bob Quote

Are they going for good money now, or are they still too uncommon? One was sold by London Coins in December 2016 for £400 + BP (Ex-Findlow, see link); I can't see that they have sold another one since. http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=155&searchlot=1202&searchtype=2 Other than yours, and the one Bob sold to Tony C, I am only aware of one other which I saw briefly on ebay (think about a year ago) and then it disappeared...…..not sure why! So my feeling is that it is rarer than the 1897 Dot, and probably on a par with the 1875 Canon Ball. Maybe other members know of additional examples, would be good to hear. Quote
blakeyboy Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Yep, I have a feeling that's the four. Wasn't there one sold in the US in the last 2 years? Or was it an 1875 dot...can't remember.... Quote
