Colin G. Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Spot on @mrbadexample .......could potentially be 1914 - 1925, the surface finish can not be determined to narrow it down, but I suppose it would make sense to assume somewhere prior to 1918...but no guarantees. 1 Quote

I'd love to see it in hand if you are going to TNS next week. Ian.. Hi Ian Will definately bring it next week. Think I need to get a nice case for it in the mean time =D Brian Quote

bhx7 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Managed to get a day to myself so started sorting out my Bun Heads that I have so far. I found this 1861 which I think is a Gouby E +d but wanted to confirm if I was right. Any help appreciated. Thanks Quote
bhx7 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Reverse. THINK I MAY HAVE SORTED THIS OUT. Now looking again I think it is just the common a garden J + d Edited April 11, 2016 by bhx7 Quote

bhx7 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) To be honest if it wasn't for Richard's penny page I wouldn't have worked it out. I had missed the extra Leaf!!! Edited April 11, 2016 by bhx7 Quote
terrysoldpennies Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) The easy way to tell a obv. J or freeman 6 is first, the B of BRITT is almost touching Victorias head, and the D G colons after D point to the tooth, with the ones after G pointing to the Gap. Rev. d has a small island to the left of the Lighthouse which has a pointed top . also the P in PENNY points to the tooth Edited April 11, 2016 by terrysoldpennies 1 Quote

secret santa Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I can't believe that a coin worth less than £10K 13 years ago can be worth over 4 times that now !!! But someone will probably cough up Quote
jacinbox Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Is it yours Dave? How much? Edited April 15, 2016 by jacinbox Quote

Rob Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Baldwins also had a uniface on the same day as one of the Bole sales in 2010. That hammered at 5K. Baldwins are setting their estimates too high. It might be related to their 'investment' portfolios. Quote
jacinbox Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 30k another coin that will make it into some investment portfolio. Quote
