  1. I got an email from Sovereign Rarities about this - does anyone know when the auction catalogue will be available? Looks like some rare and interesting pieces will be up for sale.
  2. Did anyone get a physical copy of the catalogue?
  3. No images for me either - they return a 403 (Permission Denied).
  4. Interesting, looking forward to taking a look. Do Sovereign Rarities do .pdf catalogues or will it all just be on their website?
  5. Not my area of expertise but 5 over 6 looks like what it is.
  6. Page 22 of the February 2025 Coin News mentions a previously unknown pattern 1887 sovereign sold in 2022 - does anyone know which one this is? I have a few different 1887 pattern sovereign types recorded but the article didn't go into specifics.
  7. Hoping to soon - still not showing at https://auctions.sovr.co.uk/upcoming-auctions though.
  8. Oh, is he still working on that book? I think it was mentioned in Coin News a few times.

    1862 E in ONE over ???

    Upside down E seems most likely.
  11. I don't keep tabs on all the repairs - too many - but they're good to know for die identification etc. Agree with T over T for the first - maybe T over I for the second but the I looks short?
  12. Definitely a 4 over or under something - upside down 5 seems possible but what a mess they made of that digit.

    William II

    No idea offhand, but https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces316623.html says that pieces were struck in the name of William, not William II, so it seems a little difficult to correctly attribute them.
  14. Ah, thank you! Yes, it was the Verene Collection: https://www.noble.com.au/auctions/lot?id=450665 I remember quite a few items of interest in that auction.
  15. Do you have a picture of the whole coin? Or will it be in the auction catalogue. I got another email looking for more consignments so hopefully not far away now.

    1889 Queen Victoria Crown + 1

    Not sure - but the pattern does look a bit odd.

    Route 66

    Lovely. Enjoy Hawaii.
  18. The Australian penny is the London obverse I think (the common one): https://www.coincuriosity.com/view/english-and-indian-obverse-dies-on-australian-george-v-pennies.html

    Posting research

    What format is your research in?
  20. Not my area of expertise but I thought there was still a bit of interest in these - the Australian Coin Review magazine produced new ones last year I think so that has no doubt stirred up some interest. That said, I didn't know that the market was full of fakes so I'm not really sure what to look for. I understand they were die struck and pictures that I've seen show to have been of a reasonable quality.
  21. Nice find - these coins aren't too common, although they clearly saw some use as yours can attest.

    My Halfpenny varieties site

    Could Web Archive be of use?
  23. Yes they finally got this back on line. Still incomplete though so I'd keep my eyes on it.

    1954 penny

    Do you remember which one of his papers?
