    Big piece of British bronze from the Birmingham Workhouse - quite possibly the largest numismatic object struck for actual circulation by Matthew Boulton's steam powered machinery - this weighs almost 2.5 ounces.

    Ahhh.... it seems that Obverse Engraver: Edgar Bertram MacKennal Reverse Engraver: George William de Saulles so only half wrong....or right depending what side of the coin you look at....

    I happened upon Numista.... when I first join the Forum I was depending on everyone to tell me everything.... I've been experiencing fatigue an its been difficult trying to get things right... I did happen upon Numista that seems a useful place to check out coins an lots of extra information, they lower down provided a Numista Rarity index: and a Bullion value: which is useful to know if buying worn out ones so you don't over pay.... I'm also trying to keep the forum tidy and add to my existing topic rather than keep opening new topic... I hope this help, all the very best "H" oh and thank you for the grading. its nice to know that, as another area I'm not sure about!?!?!

    The engraver was Bertram McKennial not de Saulles. I wonder where you get the R7 from? Quite a nice coin, between F and VF for me.

    Minor Addition 1840 Farthing I tracked down an affordable upgrade my 1840 Farthing last week, and was about to evict the previous 1840 in the tray, but before doing so decided to have a closer look at the obverse under the microscope. Not sure if these were repairs or just an accident, V over V in Victoria and T I A over T I A in Gratia I'll just have to find space in the tray or start o new one Best Regards

    For this coin type, it might not make much difference in price.

    1953 Proof Halfpenny, OBV 1.

    PWA 1967 replied to PWA 1967's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    I have since found out the NGC one in my post wasnt in a rare set and was more i only saw the NGC scan on Monday / Tuesday and the only other i could find was in an LCA Rare 1953 Set. Posting on here was a way of trying to find anymore and thank you for your pictures. Today (Friday) i have been told of another one, although as i cant find very many i dont really have a clue. They seem to be very rare but like the 1953 Scarcer proof Halfcrowns possibly more than i originally thought as only been looking a few days and all guess work. Maybe as you saw and bought that one a few years ago, you have seen others since ? Can you tell me which Auction and lot number you bought it from please as its definately Obverse 1 and does look like a proof.

    1953 Proof Halfpenny, OBV 1.

    Nala replied to PWA 1967's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    Yes I knew what I had before this post. I bought the coin at a provincial auction several years ago. It was advertised as an obverse I and I agreed. The lot contained the halfpenny only and did not come with a set. I was pleased to be the successful bidder. What are the thoughts on how these coins have come about? Are they from broken up VIP sets?
