I agree with you both, and just enough detail to get you there. Highly recommend the Galata guides too.

Blimey, where are you copying and pasting all this blue text from? You’d already identified as much in the OP.

For the number of different errors in the halfpennies alone, you’d have to conclude that somebody, somewhere, was having a right royal laugh! Some nice grade errors going on there, Mr Roo!

Spotted that…not recorded in the Galata Guide.

Hah, I honestly didn’t mind, Chris…gave me my biggest smile of the day so far. 😆

Yes, as Paddy has narrowed it down to, the Bristol coin is class 3cd, and it looks to me that the London coin is a class 10/11 mule, on account of the angle-backed C on the reverse. This is an excellent resource if you haven’t any books on the series. https://www.rodblunt.com/edwardian-pennies

This one is indeed a penny. Third coinage, mintmark lion, bust 3i

Make sure it’s the surgical/household acetone, though, not the stuff you clean your nails with, as these mostly have moisturisers +\- other products added to them.

Excellent stuff! 👏👏👏👏

Nice intro., Chris, thanks for all the time you’re putting into this…much appreciated! 🤝

No, not a threepence, it’s a threehalfpence. Coys is right, though, you definitely need a set of scales. 👍

Agreeing with this wholeheartedly!
