Bronze & Copper Collector

I have several specimens with a weak H, and 2 or 3 that supposedly have no H... But I am not convinced with ANY of them that there was NEVER an H present..... All display (to me anyway) some signs of it having been there at one time or another.... The possibility exists, as has been suggested before, that the NO H variety is a result of a filled die..... much as the rare so called 1922 plain US cent .. and thst faint signs of its presence display itself.... As a result of the H being weaker, it would wear down faster leaving the impression that there was no H on the coin despite the rest of the coin being well preserved.... I have not yet seen a convincing specimen with NO trace of a H ever being present.....

For what it is worth, I emailed the Royal mint with images... Maybe I'll get my answer from them.....

It could be anything its a reverse die it might come from master die or anything else. The wieght is more than 5 farthing, 39.9-40/24 It could be anything,just worth a try. http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/weight Just posting. Interesting thought..... Anyway, I emailed the Royal mint with images... Maybe I'll get my answer from them.....

I think... F103 with OBV 9 has only 7 border teeth between the colon after the D and the colon after the G (including the teeth directly above the colons), yours has 8 which suggests OBV 11? That too....

I'm not near my computer at home with my images... But it is NOT at F-103.... The ribbon does NOT flair out at the back as it should on the rarer obverse...

Thanks Huss....

Any ideas??? Anybody????

Still looking for information on the royal mint token posted in another thread

Thanks Rob... That's my point... There does not appear to be any reason for its existence except as a product of idle time.... Probably made MANY years ago, but I can't think of a reason why it might be from the mint.... Which is why I was looking for suggestions why it might possibly be from the mint.....

I wouldn't even know where to begin..... With just the basic 5 obverses (not counting the rare obverse 4 central cut fishtail) and the 3 reverses, there are 13 known basic die combinations (not counting the rarer sub-varieties) each of which have several different date widths (I won't even get into minor die variants on the obverse from the use of known different dies of the same type).. Bernie is the expert on the subtle nuances of the known variants....

I've found the F-69 to be the more common of the reverse I's.... I've had only 2 F-76's.. the Freeman example and the specimen that I currently have..... I've sold 3 or 4 F-69's, have one in my collection, and have seen 3 or 4 others sold on ebay (one just this past week- not the one I sold, this was just listed as an 1874-H ).... These totals do not include specimens already in other collections or sold elsewhere.... So I would probably guess at least 15-18 F-69's known at a minimum....

Obverse 6, Reverse D F-29

It's 6 + H. Still scarce and worth quite a bit in that condition. Correct... 6 & H

h***i's bid, with one second to spare, has to have been a previously laid snipe. He couldn't possibly have had time to make a manual over bid with just 3 seconds to spare. Bet he's cursing that other late very high bid edit: Well done New specimen now in my collection, previous specimen now on ebay.... (along with some other rarities and scarcities), including an F-8 Mule,

penny's for sale ...... Post cost as follows ( Please read carefully ) UK £1.50 + 50p per extra penny Europe £150.00 +£75.00 per extra penny Rest of world £600 + £300 per extra penny 100 new penny's available have fun. A few points to clarify here. Penny should have an upper case P as it's a proper noun. The cost of shipping Penny around the UK is remarkably cheap. The costs to Europe of the rest of the world is roughly the cost of one bum on one seat in a plane. Presumably Penny is a normal person, though I suspect with a 100 examples of her available it might be construed as people trafficking (or an advert for a brothel) ROFL!!!!!

Here's a good one.... Talk about excessive shipping rates... ebay item # 330509932583 At least it's "signed for" for your protection.....
