    I advise that you should not store your copper or bronze coins in anything that resembles plastic, such as plastic pockets. The coins will sweat and get verdigris.

    Does any reader know when the Royal Mint will be selling 2026 coin sets etc. If my memory serves me correctly they were usually available in December of the previous year.

    How about one penny ????????????

    You're priceless Richard! 😃

    Are you calling ME a moron Richard! LOL 😂🤣 PS. Thought to be the only existing example.

    I believe that the different weight coins were produced to test the dies on different width flans. Paul Holland has investigated this , Apparently the weight of the individual new flans was to equate to how many coins could be struck to the weight of one pound. If my memory serves me correct, one particular weight of flans worked out to 30 coins per pound.

    Auction details of collection, starting at page 11, lot 186 online. Sovereign Rarities

    It would be more frustrating if a die 7 turned up!!🤣

    I agree, but my own patience to have a collection is short! can't wait forever.

    Problem is, those "occasions" can be very rare.

    The Freeman 32 was unsold in the Sovereign Rarities Auction. There is a member of this forum who has a coin that I would like. I believe that he will be definitely aware of which coin this is. would you consider an exchange for my Fr32 penny? Contact me please by forum messaging if you are interested. I will hold the penny for a week for you to consider this offer.

    I agree Richard. Hopefully the five pennies that you mention go to penny collectors on this forum! Overall I am very pleased with the total. Shame the 1954 didn't sell like Del Boys Watch!

    Brilliant Pictures!

    It's either an A/A or R/R, two different die pairs. This appears to be R/R
  15. Bernie
    Yes, and also Lot 210, not Freeman 38 but should read Fr39A
  16. Bernie
    Thanks Alan, worked perfectly!

    I have downloaded the program but can't work out how to get picture size to 499Kb. Please guide step by step procedure. I tried setting resize to 0.499Mb but picture reduces to 57Kb.

    If there are 50 examples, it still makes it much rarer than a 1930 Australian one penny, look what they sell for!

    I believe the first print was 1736. Don't know whether it was as comprehensive.
  20. Bernie
    I have placed a reference book of gold & silver coins 1066-1736, on Ebay, of which displays many pattern coins that I didn't know even existed. The book was issued in 1763 and is in my opinion, quite good condition for its age. Item id 145759903017

    Freeman 274, obverse 5 Reverse E
  22. Bernie
    I could be wrong but the brown one appears to me as obverse 4 and the other obverse 6
  23. Bernie
    Haven't seen this error before, good finds! I suspect that these two coins maybe from different dies. One picture indicates the leg of R loop is inline with the serif of the I. the other coin, the loop of the R points above the serif of the I. This may be just an illusion that sometimes happens with digital photography, but full pictures of each obverse may confirm this one way or the other.
  24. Bernie
    I agree, many years since I've seen one for sale on Ebay. As like waiting for a bus and two turn up together!
