Does the name Roger Bickford-Smith mean anything to anyone here? A friend of mine, who has become a coin collector in the last few years, mentioned that his uncle, the above named Roger, was a keen Penny collector - probably in the 1960s - and was writing a treatise on some aspect of penny varieties when he died quite young. My friend would be keen to know if any papers or articles by him still exist.2 points

Yes the natural picture looks much better. With regards wear though ,if the tooth became wider or longer ,then the centre / tip or middle should still be in the same place.We are looking at images and that may be the reason i have my doubts also. If you say it is one and have the coin in hand then thats good enough for me 👍1 point

Wow! Makes it quite a score then! I think I paid about £30 for the 4 penny, 3 halfpenny, 1 farthing and 1 brass threepence Whitman folders mostly complete! That one better go in my collection then.1 point

I think the 1860 may be an F763 with the pattern obverse. Well done. Jerry1 point

I mentioned picking up a decent Half Crown - 1927 proof version - in a bunch of Whitman folders this week. I also got a full range of other folders in the series - mostly full, much in low grade - but a few pleasant surprises like these (one per post): 1860 Beaded border - I believe dies 1 and B so F6 but please correct me if I am wrong.

It's a PITA having to do it, but uploading the rejected post as an image in the form of a screenshot will always work.1 point
