Thanks Custard, it justifies the price I paid for the other one quite nicely.

I shall have a quiet word in someones ear about that coin and may well go for it. Thankyou very much for bringing it to my attention.

One of the more imaginative lot descriptions from the same sale...

2s6d Charles I mm triangle, partly double struck so that the King has 2 heads (could have been useful later in his life)GF-AVF"

Another high grade 1869 penny up for sale. These are said to be quite rare in higher states of preservation and yet they do seem to appear with some regularity.

Another 1869 penny has surfaced in the Goldberg auction of the Cheshire collection. It is not as nice as others that have been offered and was rejected by NGC for cleaning. Still, it is a high grade example.

Many of the rare dates that are being offered are simply incredible.
