Couldn't agree more. Plus with live internet bidding, you are the master of your own destiny in a sense. E mail bids are reliant on others not beating you to the draw. Obviously you can always attend in person, and make a room bid. But that isn't always a practical proposition for everybody, given distance, travel costs, other home/work commitments etc.

Penny Acquisition of the week

They're so difficult to get in high grade. -

@terrysoldpennies Terry, was the 1937 sold to you as a proof? -

The hair detail is stunning, and far in excess of what one would expect from a 1921 penny. -
Freeman 73: 7 + H. Reverse I is as shown in Paddy's post above. Note the taller helmet plume and slightly bulkier, shorter lighthouse.
-
If anyone has one to sell, or sees one, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know. Been trying to get a high grade example for several years, but there just don't seem to be any available. Thanks in advance.
-
Yes, the number of sellers you see who will not send to Italy, as well as the other countries on your list. To be honest, I'd kind have expected better of Canada. But maybe that's a form of unconscious bias.

Probably a lone simpleton voice in the wilderness here, but apart from obverse 4, I find L C WYON an absolute sod to even make out. It seems to be half hidden underneath the base of the bust, and you have to really struggle to find it, even under magnification. -
As I recall your F24 was a nice one as well.
-
There is no way I would ever part with such a piece, Ian. Irreplaceable, literally as well as figuratively.
-
Thanks Ian. Your F32, example 12 on Richard's site, is a stunning specimen.
-
Take the last digit of the price away, and it might be a more realistic ball park.
-
Absolutely. Clear cut error confirmed by the Royal Mint. Nice investment for somebody.
-
Ian - could you do a pic of your type 2 F32 obverse?
-
Mine is clearly type 1, as is Jerry's. Ian's second example is obviously type 2. Thanks Bernie. Incredibly useful info, as it's very difficult to get much insight into differences on such a rare variety.

Music to sort coins to
1949threepence replied to Paddy's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
For sorting coins to? Got to be classical. Maybe a little Debussy (Arabesque springs readily to mind), or perhaps William Walton's "Crown Imperial", Edward Elgar's "Triumphal March". Possibly even "Jupiter" from Holst's planet suite. Something inspiring, any rate.. -

It would be incredibly useful if the Royal Mint would make a list of these. No names, no pack drill, but just a summary of which denominations in which year, for actual VIP's. -

Just out of interest, how can you tell it's 1796? -
Heads up on the late Hiram Brown penny collection auction
1949threepence replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Me too, Pete. Should hopefully be some high end rarities in there. -
Don't know either way Pete.

Some of these differences are very subtle.

Is the start of the reprisals ?
1949threepence replied to secret santa's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Not any more. We're onto these Russians and their cyber shenanigans, now. -
Incidentally, with regard to the Gouby ja, Goubt describes the j as "Underneath of Brit's helmet as concave" and ja as "Underneath of Brit's helmet upright".
-
Freeman 72, Paddy - 7 + H. The neck can be deceptive on worn coins.

Well done Jerrry - especially the F98, which seem to be incredibly difficult to get in high grade. Sone really nice buys there.
