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) -

1862 1/2D 2 over 2
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to scott's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Not sure, but as you say, there is a definite slant on the "2". Apart from "Die letter A, B or C to left of lighthouse", classed as extremely rare, there are no variants of the 1862 halfpenny listed (that I can see anyway). It may be just a one off error. Interesting. Don't forget the newly discovered A to the RIGHT of the Lighthouse -

New arrival, how rare are they
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The F-169 (1909) IS listed in the 1970 edition of Freeman... The F-164A (1908) is NOT listed in the 1970 edition of Freeman.... As a point of interest the 1922 F-192A is NOT listed in the 1970 edition of Freeman either.... -
New arrival, how rare are they
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The primary question with ANY of these "rare" varieties is not how many were minted, but rather, how many survived in an identifiable condition, so as to be of desirability to a collector....... Sometimes, the only numbers that we can base any calculations of rarity upon are the number of specimens that are known, and not estimated mintages..... -

Bronze & Copper Collector replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I suspect Michael Goulby has 1 and the British Musium plus mine so we are up to the 6 now, must be some more out there. Gary, i don't suppose you have a spare 1908 164A tucked away somewhere I wish... I had a damaged specimen, which I sold when I got my current example...... -

I have a specimen, sold a second one (in worse condition), and know of at least one other example... So that makes 3 of which I have firsthand knowledge. -
