    I did buy several copper halfpenny overdates from Bucks coins but not the 1* + A

    Forgot to attach the 1861 picture ! Would be great to see a better example - if that indeed is what it is

    Apologies, I can't remember whether I have shared this one before - I think it is a 1861 Farthing with 1 over 1st 1 . There is a gap in the exegue line for "something"

    Hi, Which 1860 was that ? Best Regards
  5. Many thanks Dave, I can see in David Groom's book (Identification of British C20th Bronze Coin Varieties)there are 8 minor varieties of 1900 listed. Glad to hear that an additional minor variety has been recorded. I wonder is there any source with pictures of the 9 or whether anyone has collected all 9 ? Best Regards
  6. 1900 Penny Dates There just seem to be two widths for 1900. Wondered if anyone has found any wider than 11 teeth or narrower than 10.5 teeth ? I only have examples of those two and and minor variations on the position of the 9 e.g. the base of the 9 aligned with the base of the 1

    1775 Halfpenny - Upcoming Auction

    Just look at Britannia's arm or the armour on George , great fun though !
  8. It makes sense. I have only been posting a short while, and am still able to post pictures (which I reduce in size before posting). most recent were some more halfpenny ID queries (more halfpennies I bought in the lot with the E over B. Though I don't understand why so many forum members would be hitting a limit at the same time, unless there is an overall storage space issue in the background. Best Regards !

    And checking my tray I also found this one - seems to be a bump on QV's forehead - this is London 1874 Halfpenny

    Hi I think I might have an 1874 H 10 + J and an 1874 H 10 + J2 (the obverses look different but I suspect its just wear) The 1874 H 10 + J is missing some of the waves under the light house AND on looking closely at the 8 in the date, its an 8 over an slightly lower 8 which was to the right. Great to get your thoughts as always Best Regards

    Hi dmw2602 Have a look at the latest London Coins Auction - I have been told there is a copy in one of the lots with other coin books (I have a copy and am looking for the Mr Gouby's earlier publication)

    Hi This is my first 1 over 1 for 1861. It may have been repaired by the same person that repaired Richards 1 over 1 They are very similar. This is 6 + E and Richards is an E reverse The difference being Richards 1 leans to the left while this is straight Best Regards

    Just wanted to check these two A 1A (with slightly odd repair something sticking out under the E that's not an E) And 2 + C [not 4 + C as captioned] Great to get confirmation Very Best

    Follow up to 1861 last 1 next to 1 Thought these pictures might be of interest ... 1 next to 1 is actually (I think) ... a trace of a 1 next to 1 over 1 or over a repaired 1 Best Regards
