No such thing as a geneologist! -
I can make no other comment than my iPad doesn't take crappy pictures at all, unless I've done something wrong like move or get too close or something similar.

Did you mean "a couple, generations back" or "a couple OF generations back".

Had to think about that one - then the penny dropped! (No, it wasn't an 1860 beaded/toothed mule). -
I'd give a few different examples to make the point: Major: H and KN - mint marks are clear and obvious Minor: the recut portait for large silver in 1920 - some authorities denied this existed, but after research the obverse has sufficient small differences to register as a variety Micro: the two reverses of 1937 penny, which hinge entirely on whether the horizon meets a tooth or a space.

add "+ O(Fillmore West)" before "= M" and you have your olive -
"Just out of interest Father Andrew had already addressed this issue, and he of course used the correct terminology, minor varieties. " Not sure of your point? Members here have used the term micro-varieties often enough that we all know what is meant. And I think you could in theory easily divide the world of varieties into 3 : major (e.g. H and KN), minor (e.g. 1953 obverses), and micro (e.g. the thickness of a worn 7). FWIW...

@AardHawk - thanks for posting that. I hadn't seen that follow-up article. I did see the original article - with pictures - on 1907 pennies. I remember they were all fairly worn coins and that I wasn't that impressed even back then. However an interesting letter by EB McKenzie which puts it all in context. Though it has to be said that the absence of those micro-varieties in all price guides does rather indicate the level of interest in them.

Wow. That's an AMAZING variety. Did the hand originally have 5 fingers? Is the 6th one re-engraved? The hologram effect of the hand appearing to move is just awesome. Is it yours? Would you consider selling?

Cleaned or not?

Certainly don't look obviously cleaned. -

That's gone the same way as the even earlier article pointing out many "varieties" of 1907 penny based on the tail of the 7! Now (deservedly) vanished without trace.

"YOU ARE BIDDING ON ACTUAL COIN IN PICTURES" Not sure of that as a sales pitch...

It IS real. It's an altered date, but a very nice example.

Nor me. Without more evidence I'd have to conclude that this is a case of someone seeing what they want to see, or making something out of nothing.

My brother likes to practice cricket on his own, but I sneaked up on him and caught him out. -
Is that the one divided in 3 horizontal sections so you can compare pictures of different obverses and reverses?

DOH! You never heard the phrase "shooting fish in a barrel"?

Just looking at your interests Mick. When you've finished a barrel of cider do you use it to shoot fish?

Reminds me of the 3 French kittens that went skating on thin ice. Sadly un deux trois cats sank. -

When it comes to soaps, I waver between the BBC & ITV. I'm transEnder. -
Well done all, though I should point out that @Paddy was the first with the answer (via PM)
