cathrine Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I recently received an 1841 circulation penny with colon that I acquired during the last Spink auction.I think that this is the best looking 1841 circulation penny (with or without colon) that I've seen. 3 Quote
VickySilver Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Very nice there, Catherine. Like to remember the old Spink and this evokes that.Once I had the above, I did briefly pester Accumulator about his currency bit some time ago..... Quote
PWA 1967 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Some nice pennies and that one catherine with the colon much scarcer in that grade as you will be aware.I have a nice 1841 no colon its the one as my avatar pretty much full lustre graded CGS 85. Quote
cathrine Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I looked at the detailed photos of your avatar coin on the CGS website today; I've never seen it before. Your specimen has much better coloration, while mine has slighty better details. If your coin had been for sale, I would have made a strong bid for it! Quote

VickySilver Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks Nordle! Still want to see an 19H with that kind of obverse strike, mine doesn't. Quote

RLC35 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) The above F-14 was sold to a client a couple of years ago, and now I have purchased it back (he upgraded). The LCW under the foot is kind of a tough one to find. This coin has a really clear L in the LCW...most of these types the L looks like a "I".There is also a really unusual die crack to the left of the date. Edited December 5, 2015 by RLC35 Quote
alfnail Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Hi Bob, cracks on the F14 are very interesting.Attached are 3 pictures of F14’s all with different reverse die cracks, one of which is the same as your own piece. These cracks are of course mutually exclusive, so this means that there must have been 3 different reverse dies used on this rare variety. I also think that the piece sold by Colin Cooke in the Crocker sale may be yet another F14 reverse, but my reference picture is not high enough grade to be sure. On that coin there seems to be a different flaw running between the ship and a border tooth to the right hand side.Did any member happen to buy that coin and can put up pictures to confirm or otherwise? 1 Quote
InforaPenny Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Alfnail,Nice analysis of the reverse working dies of one of my favorite coins!Best Regards,InforaPenny Quote
Paulus Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Unusual for me to acquire a penny, but I did today 1 Quote
PWA 1967 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Thats obviously a LCA / CGS picture PaulIts as you are aware got verd /problems IMO and although UNC was it sold already slabbed ?. Quote
Paulus Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Thats obviously a LCA / CGS picture PaulIts as you are aware got verd /problems IMO and although UNC was it sold already slabbed ?.Hadn't spotted any verd problems Pete, I wouldn't have bid if I had - it just had eye appeal for me and was a good price imo ... yes, slabbed as CGS 78 ex NGC MS64 BN ... have I blundered here? Edited December 6, 2015 by Paulus Quote
PWA 1967 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Not at all if your happy its a nice coin.Just looked like verd on the reverse at twenty five past that was active rather than the large spot on the obverse.A nice coin in UNC.... IMO..... but as you know CGS tend to be strict.Whats your opinion looking under a glass and tilting the coin under a light ?. Quote

Not got it in hand yet, it will arrive Tues/Weds I expect, when it will be closely examined! So too early to say whether I am happy yet ... most of my dabbles into copper / bronze in the past have been ill-advised, I should stick to what I know perhaps! Quote
PWA 1967 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Well two grading companies have looked and they know a lot more than a beginner like me.I probably get fussy when i send them to CGS as dont want to spend £25 to get them rejected.Nice coin , will you be selling it ?. Quote
