Hi Richard, I saw it - don't know what it went for . I had a couple of my typical "low" bids on at Noonan's, but I don't think I won anything.

Very Best Regards 

Their estimates are absurd. For most coins, the hammer price is on average double the top estimate.

Low estimates prob please sellers they can be pointed too as proof how good the auctioneer is

Low estimates also help ensure the lots sell. Having to relist the lots at a lower estimate in the next sale is a pain in the ass for an auctioneer, and means the same lot twice, which raises the question in a buyers mind as to what was wrong with the coin for it not to sell. .

Not my coin, but what appears to be a very clear example of an inverted V over A Freeman 10.
Plus it has other features - a dot next to 1 for example. Can't find any reference to that as a possible error.

It looks more like a spot of corrosion to me than a proper dot ?

I recently finished cataloguing someone's excellent Victorian Copper Penny collection and, as a result, felt that I was now in a position to have a go at listing the 1843 varieties which I know of. It may not be a complete list, but I think it will be pretty close. I now know of seven different types of 1843 penny, and I have summarised these into a one page jpeg image which I now attach. The actual image on my own computer is over 6 times the size of this attachment, so if anyone wants a copy of the full image then please PM me.

I thought that this may be of interest to some other members (and so did Jerry), as I am unaware that anyone has ever tried to do this with a rarer date in the YH series.

The Australian penny is the London obverse I think (the common one): https://www.coincuriosity.com/view/english-and-indian-obverse-dies-on-australian-george-v-pennies.html

What is it about this penny, particularly the obverse, that is making my nose twitch?

Ridiculous price for an at best GVF example.

Maybe take another look, not the grade but the coin 😀.

Trial piece? Trident touches teeth.

[Citizen H]

being honest pennies really don't interest me, these have been hanging around just in case something has been missed......?

Your 1898 is the Bisect 8 which are quite scarce.

ah... ok that's promising, I will keep anything that is scarce....although over 30 odd years ago I did have Pennies checked out that were dismissed... they seem to be making a come back.. I did move them on and perused hammered and others..... many thanks for the updates.  👍

Hi all, 

As I can't seem to post pics anymore, I've posted a link to a coin I was hoping one or two of you might have an opinion on. I haven't seen corrosion like this on pennies of this grade, and I was wondering if anyone knew what it was. I appreciate that there is no financial value in it, but I've been looking for one where the die crack looks like thunder hitting the water for a while (don't ask). 

Thanks in advance

Are you talking about Britannia's leg? The pictures are pretty poor, but I can't see this as corrosion - depending upon whether it's incuse or raised (the jury's out...) then it's either a planchet flaw causing delamination, or perhaps something like grease finding  its way onto the die.

[dmw2602]

Thanks for taking a look, really appreciate it. I had been looking for similar corrosion examples and hadn't been able to find any.

Not corrosion, but deposits (grease and general filth) caused by storage in PVC or similar coin album/pockets. Often this is removeable and in this instance the deposits look very minor so should be easily removed with a bit of judicious cleaning/wiping.

Agree- dab, don’t rub, with cotton wool and acetone.

Looks like it has delamination to me as well

That’s slightly more concerning, not sure it’s worth the money it’s likely to go for if that’s the case
