R19 Bun penny rarity discovered

[absence of uniformity]

I found a unquestionable R19 variety.

Once received and photograped I will add the coin to this post. 

I can't beleive it, purcahsed from a UK dealer hence me not naming or showing the piece until tracking shows the item has been sent.

Looking forward to seeing this.

Me too ! I got the rarity rating wrong though..Its not R19 its Gouby R9.. I can only find information about one other known example. But there is probably more out there ! The other known example is much better condition than the coin I have purchased. The type is clear as day in the seller's images but Im going to wait until I receive the coin before sharing anything. I also only want to share my own images to avoid any reverse image searches.

You seem to be talking about this coin on two threads , it really only needs one. How about photos so it can be verified and included on the database, which will make it more attractive. It really is quite hard to believe that you have found all these great rarities in only a couple of weeks when hundreds of highly knowledgeable collectors are looking out for them - you haven’t just bought someones collection? Are you a collector or a dealer? Most of us on this forum know a fair bit about each other (including in many cases our actual names) as members of quite a small community. At the moment you are just a moniker.

I had thought the same - one great rarity would be very lucky, two would be incredible, more than two seems ... odd?

In another post he mentions he’s a beginner, 12 weeks into the hobby. Fair play that he’s navigating all the auction archives, retrieving past sales, in-touch with all the literature, and holding his own in the variety conversations, all in such a short window.

You simply have to take your hat off to him/her, that’s very, very impressive!
