    We've done one big shop since lockdown, having made a concerted effort to get to the bottom of the freezer. We've eliminated those by appointment to Queen Victoria and are now working on the Edward VIIs

    Just wondered if I could prick the interest of fellow Charles I halfcrown collectors, or ask for opinions I have been concentrating on Tower Mint types this last year or so, here's a montage of my best so far. Some are Brooker and/or Bull plate coins.

    Ah, some people might have been fooled into thinking that was a F169, as the base of the one is over both a tooth and a gap. But of course the real deal has fewer teeth and the one is unambiguously over a tooth.

    If it's after lock-down, may I recommend a pint in the Barking Cat two minutes away from Ernie's.

    Here's two dates on F25's, neither quite as weird as Terry's example.

    This one is on an F33 , so unusual for this combination of dies.

    Well, Terry has invited me to the shop once the Covid-19 lock-down is lifted, so let's see if I can achieve a trade-in deal with them.

    His son Terry is mostly running the shop now, but I've often seen Ernie cycling from the shop back home to Bournemouth.

    Agreed. Dorset Coins were a very welcome table at the Midland in the 90s, and Ernie was always friendly and obliging.

    Thanks for this - time to work out who might have lived at this property who was a "GN" (And please - let me down more gently next time on the value...)

    Excellent example Terry, and agree with you that this is extreme enough to be interesting and more desirable to collectors than most date width varieties. The 1889 Wide Date, pictured below, is another more extreme example. It is also rarer and more desirable than the 1889 Gouby B Narrow Date, which is itself quite sought after.

    With acknowledgements to the seller @oldcopper I'm very pleased to have won this superb 1882H Freeman 114. Surprisingly difficult to obtain - for example only two on LCA site over the past 17 odd years (the other three shown are 115's misattributed as 114's. I've been trying to get a decent one for a number of years. Not room on this post for both sides, so posting obverse on another post.
