    A tongue twister by the sound of it! As in "The Leith police dismisseth us".

    If I have one in an English cafe, I even now have to insist they only fry them one side. Then fold and serve - by the time it arrives, the inside has virtually cooked.

    It wouldn't go to your PM inbox. As for Notifications, what Paddy said above may be the answer (something in your settings).

    What does this mean

    I'd not heard that theory before - that the British Museum requested a 1920 penny in 1921 and an example was struck using an Obverse 3 die which was being used at the time. It sounds perfectly feasible. The one potential flaw in it is: why wouldn't the Mint have sent a 1920 penny that they must have had knocking around? Or does the Mint dispose of every unissued strike before they start minting a new date? Also, does the BM keep an example of every date and every denomination struck? If not, I can't think of a reason for them to have a 1920 penny unless there was something special about it.

    Yes, the monthly became a fortnightly for a couple of years - these were all regular issues so there was no 'monthly' for that period.

    Or maybe there was an early hoarding of 1966 once everyone knew all pennies would be dated 1967 for the remaining years? I'm sure if there was, it must have ended fairly abruptly as 1966 pennies were very common subsequently.

    Ah, so it would depend on my having the issues in question?

    Are you offering an index to the articles, or a copy of the actual articles Mike?

    There's a major confusion due to a mix up between 1919 and 1919H. Apart from that, the estimated numbers seem very close to the actual found for 20thC pennies. Though I'm slightly baffled by the zero estimates for 1922 and 1926, I'd have thought some of each would be expected.

    A single rare bronze, whatever the emperor, wouldn't be classed as treasure trove. In fact, AFAIK, single coins never are.
