Nordle11 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Cheers Jac, pictures in about an hour or so Quote
Nordle11 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Well it's raised more questions than it has answered.. There's something there but it's too worn to see if it's just a chip, strange for it to be so central though. Could there be a possibility that they filled the die number in and in became unclogged or even it becoming clogged over time? In any case, the 3 is what's making it so difficult to assign.Suggestions? 1 Quote
Nordle11 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I'm ignoring the mark in the middle, even if it is a die number no-one is going to be able to say what it is so it might as well not be there. I just can't find a reverse die with the same 3. Quote
1949threepence Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 New purchase, just arrived. Gem 1921 Penny...IMG_7287.JPG IMG_7290.JPGLovely coin, Bob. Quote

Very difficult to know. f it is a die No, what a shame it's worn down.Of course, they're as rare as hen's teeth, and you hardly ever see them for sale, even at the top auctions. Alfnail had a worn one up on e bay for £995 ( think Die No 4), but he withdrew and sold to a previous client.One of my biggest wants, an 1863 die No - not fussy as to which, or condition of specimen.

Nordle11 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I sent a couple of pictures to Michael (Gouby) and asked for his two cents;I regret to say that you have a totally normal 1863 – no variety, just slightly wider spacing.If you read at the bottom of my last book on page 28 I say. “This edition will list all of the date widths that I have found from 1866. I have omitted the 1860 to 1863 period, as the variations are extensive and range from the very narrow to the well spaced. The disregard for consistency in date width in those early years could possibly be due to the fact that James Watt struck most of the pennies between 1861 and 1863.” So there you have it Quote

It would have been a massive shame for sure, and after researching more about them to try and assign my coin I can absolutely confirm what you're saying, very very hard to find examples to compare to. Alfnail always has something for sale that's worth drooling over haha Quote

jelida Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 A few of my pennies from LCA last week, the slabbed coins are the CGS pics.First the F10 triple F. Quote
jelida Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 The 1875H (note repair to ribbon end) and 1878 Quote
jelida Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 The F114 1882H; there isn't a close-up on the CGS site. Seems a scarce coin to me, first I've come across for sale (at least that I've recognised, probably couldn't tell in many pics).I was really pleased with these, especially the 1878 which is beautiful.Jerry Quote
Nordle11 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Amazing, keep it up Jerry these are some beauties!! I really like the tripled F, great buy Quote
1949threepence Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Yes, some absolute gems there - especially impressed with the 1875H and the 1878. Quote
