More Pennies

[PWA 1967]

Yes the 1932 a lot harder and at that grade must be really nice and a good buy

Anyone want to guess what this F103 would fetch? My guess - £2400

Not sure but that's one ugly looking coin, even if it is rare.

I'd guess somewhere in that ballpark as well. But I agree with Matt, it looks terrible. Whoever buys it, it'll be for the rarity value only.

1872 wider date and clear design crossing to near the teeth

1897 with die cracks on the O

1899

all new from the past month or so

Not the best of pieces but looks like there is a protrusion above the H on this Gouby 1882La (R + p) penny. Anyone seen this on their own higher grade example / have any idea what it may be? Don't think I'm imagining!

[secret santa]

Just checked mine - nothing like that.

[terrysoldpennies]

Nothing on my coins Ian .

Ian , I came across this in my library of old pics , its not very high resolution , but it looks the same as yours.   Terry

I would say it is part of an H where the RH vertical would pass down the immediate right of the current H

In the sense that with most of the 1881H's, the H was not dead centre between the two 8's, but distinctly to the left, nearer the first 8? Could it be a recut die?

[alfnail]

Thanks for the replies, Terry's 'second' piece seems to confirm that the protrusion was introduced at minting. The H's on 1882's and 1881's seem to be found in many slightly different locations, and also varying sizes. Below is an example of a smaller, much lower, and also repaired H on the common 1882 variety. I guess it's not inconceivable that the protrusion on the La was from an earlier underneath H, although it does seem to be very high and quite a 'miss' from the intended spot. Does anyone have an example of a complete 'high' H where the top is level with half way up the bottom loops of the 8's?

Surplus post to negate the above, which I can't otherwise get rid of.

I found this one in an old LCA auction. The H is otherwise quite well centred.  

 

[alfnail]

Thanks Mike, think that's the highest complete H I have seen, certainly higher than the examples on Gouby Page 77.

No problem, Ian. Yes, it's palpably higher than his Hb example on that page.

[Cliff]

Don't know if this one is high enough to qualify?

 

[Cliff]

Sorry about previous duplication, couldn't find a way to get rid!  Please see attached (once I hope!) for you consideration.  Gouby Ha says the H is "very close to the linear circle".  Attached example disappears into the LC, whilst top of H is "virtually in line with the base of the numerals".

[alfnail]

Thanks for the pictures Cliff. Attached is a reference picture of the 1881H (P + p) where, as Mike mentioned, the H is distinctly to the left rather than dead centre between the 8's. I think our conversations, and pictures, over the past 24 hours have given us an 1881Hc, Hd and He to add to the Ha and Hb on Gouby Page 77.........expect there will be even more  

[Cliff]

Does this H to second 8 rate an additional Gouby H reference Ian, can't see it documented anywhere?

 

[alfnail]

Yet another variation thanks Cliff, and I think more unusual to be over to the RHS touching the second 8. I probably ought to go through all my previous sales pictures to see if I can spot some more H locations on the 1881's. I did that for the 1882La's I have ever sold, to see if I could find anymore of type with the protrusion at the top left of the H, but couldn't find a single one out of the 6 I have owned but now sold on. 

P.S. You haven't cracked the duplicate picture posting yet

Never seen one like that before ! Is it yours?

Edited February 20, 2017 by 1949threepence
Added a bit.

[1949threepence]

Another interesting one. Here the H is to the left and in contact with the linear circle, so it's top most part is practically underneath the 8.

Here's another one.    Terry
