1905 one penny colon dot missing?
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to si666's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Actually you can just make out the faint trace of the dot. It's partly a combination of uneven wear (the higher dot is more protected by the rim) and a partly worn or filled die. That's my opinion anyway. Sadly the coin doesn't have any extra value. I can see the faint dot too.... -

1854 Penny

Here is my specimen.... Peck mentions that all stops are sometimes weak or missing.... Bramah 17a notes "describable as having no stops but traces of the first colon are discoverable" -
Any GB Bronze or Copper Collectors planning on attending the NYINC??? I'm not sure which day I will attend but would like to try to co-ordinate with others to possibly meet there, if possible....

2010 Coin Forecast
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to Coppers's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I usually try to attend either on Thursday or Friday.... But I'm sure that we an work something out to meet.... Maybe all forum members attending can meet there at some point..... As the time gets nearer for the show, I'll check with you, for when you are going to attend, and maybe more of the Forum can also make a connection, at the same time. I've still got to decide if I am going to attend, but at this point there is a good chance. Sounds like a plan to me...... -

Heads up for a bit of copper
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to Peter's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I too find Rendel's prices (and grades) a little beyond my expectation. However, don't let your fantasies about Megan go too far. (S)he's actually David Mason, who used to be World Coins in Canterbury, but who took himself off to Spain a few years ago. I think he called himself Megan after his daughter. I agree - Too often there are no images and I have had to return mis-attributed coins.... I've learned to generally ask for images before ordering now...... This applies to several sellers... PS: The first time that I was placed in contact with Laurie Bamford, I too expected a female on the other end, not realizing that is was short for Laurence.. We BOTH got a few chuckles over that.... -

1863 penny sold for £19000!
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to Mat's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
LOL.... First time one of MY auctions was noted here.... But I suppose it's better than being recognized in "EBAY LAUGHS" It IS a TERRIBLY LOW GRADE specimen, with just barely enough detail at the CRUCIAL points to be identified as an obverse signature type, but NOT good enough to determine whether it is an Obverse 2 or an Obverse 3..... I've sold WORSE condition RARE coins often enough to know that there is a market for everything.... You just don't know when or where or who.... RE: the 1863 slender 3, the specimen that recently sold is the 2nd known specimen, I believe purchased by the same buyer that won the 1863 die number 5, a unique (so far) coin. The Crocker collection seemed to bring more of a true market value for MOST coins..... SOMETIMES, bidders get carried away with their bidding in what sometimes appears to be an exhibition of MACHO..... Sometimes it's merely to have a coin from a famous collection or with a significant provenance -

which paring of dyes on my 1861 penny
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to scott's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Definitely no earlier than Obverse 6 - notice that the head is the usual bun penny distance from the linear circle; on the first 5 Freeman obverses, it sits much lower from it (one of the defining characteristics of 1860 pennies for example). The 1860 dated F-17 is a die pairing of 6 & D, so the obverse 6 DOES appear on 1860 dated coins.... The 1861 varieties paired with obverse 6 are reverse D (F-29), reverse F ( F-32) , and reverse G (F-33) -
