4054A 1926 Penny of highest rarity
davidrj replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
given that we have evidence a series of trial die pairings involving "normal" obverse and reverse dies with both the "1927" type obverse and the modified effigy reverse over the period 1922-6, the existence of a trial obverse die dated 1924 later reused with a 6 punch is not beyond the realms of possibility. -

see http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/8353-1922-penny-reverse-of-1927/#entry94002, Bernie mentions the 1926 variants -
weak date figures are very common on early buns, die wear or clogged dies

I got a farthing in change 12 months ago -
In English common law nothing happened before the Norman conquest and the Domesday Book, all previous titles and property rights have no standing.

A good summary of post decimalisation Sterling Area coins & banknotes here

The Leek, thistle & shamrock look naturalistic, so why a heraldic rose? looks odd to me

Happy Birthday! Soon you'll wonder how you had time to go to work -
A bit of skillful alteration here? from the waves I would think one of the earlier years of QEII pennies

Britannia returns to circulating coins
davidrj replied to Nick's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That looks like a design drawing rather than the coin, which hopefully may be better -

Let's See Your Copper Coins, Tokens, Or Medals!

A scarce little medieval copper came in today's post Ferdinand I of Aragon as King of Naples, Bronze cavallo, 1472 - 1488 obverse FERRANDVS REX radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust rightreverse EQVITAS RE G NI, horse prancing right, rosette above, T flanked by a rossete on each side in exergue; eagle mintmark for Aquila -
This has a suggestion of a doubled 4 and a broken 7, sadly horrid grade

Happy Birthday Deb & Scott
davidrj replied to azda's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Happy Birthdays each! -
I also like these beautiful in high grade, sadly awful when circulated, the relief was far too low
-
One of my favourite designs, must look out for a better grade one Italy 10 centesimi (1919-1938), the use of the bee on the flower is a good use of the space, and it was one of the first regular coin issues not to use national symbols or mythological characters

I've finally got round to transfering hundreds of coins that were in 2x2 envelopes to mylar coin holders, mainly so my grandchildren can actually see and handle them without damage. I bought a trial pack of Hartberger pages (24.5 x 28.5 cm) from our host which seem ideal, and I'm now looking at binders & slip cases, what do folks here use recommend? David

My grandchildren will have to sort my collection out one day! Hopefully mine is reasonably documented

I seek high resolution scans of Maundy Money
davidrj replied to ChKy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That would be great! And please PM me your name for the acknowledgements I hadn't realised how difficult it is to image these tiny shiny coins, I collect mostly 30mm copper. Every little speck of dust turns into a boulder the original scans for this image are all at 1200 dpi, what resolution would you like? David
