Colin88 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I see that there's one coming up at DNW albeit somewhat battered but clear enough and obviously exceedingly rare. Estimate at £500 to £700 is somewhat on the low side but will succeed in attracting bidders for sure. Quote

secret santa Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 And another one at DNW in March - they're coming thick and fast. Quote

jelida Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 The first one is in appalling condition, worn, battered and disfigured around the date. I would not want it in my collection. The second DNW one is at least showing more normal wear, and would be tolerable. Given they are not really ‘that’ rare, I think they are overpriced if in the thousands (plural). But I hope to get a decent one one day. Jerry PS and despite what I said a couple of days ago re the rugby, I do wish some success to England. I would at least like to see them prevent France getting the bonus point.😱 2 Quote

Probably more "glamour" attached to it. 1 Quote

First is the sale on 12.2.20, and the next is the coin sale in March. Or you could click on Richard's @secret santa rarest pennies website and look under F90. Both there as well (last two).

I think that if I weren't building up the population with pictures on my website, they might well be still thought of as a single figure population. 2 Quote
Peckris 2 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Didn't Scott (where is he?) get one of these very cheap in a lot from eBay? Quote

Your rarest pennies website seems to be known far and wide, Richard. I've seen it authoritatively quoted both on e bay and some facebook coin pages, as "the rare pennies website shows only 12 photos" (or some such). Quote
Iannich48 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 There is also an 1882 no H in the DNW auction on 12 February as well. Poor, but extremely rare. Difficult to be convinced about the no H though, as i think somebody has mentioned before. Quote

As long as you can tell whether the obverse / reverse combination is either London or Birmingham, then you can say which it is. If iit's so poor you can't tell, then safe to assume it's Birmingham.

secret santa Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 It's from the Hiram brown collection but, saying that, there's also a clumsily forged 1943 penny in there as well, described simply as 1943 penny, even though they don't exist !!! Quote

It's not a Seaby/Laurence scenario then....(a 1933 penny hiding in a lot of bric-a-brac). Quote
