Yes, "The British Bronze Penny 1860 to 1970", but it's out of print (it's another A4 ring binder).

It's not really a paperback - it's A4 pages held in a ring binder.

I seem to recall that it's out of print. Message Chris Perkins to check.

I have added the F90 to my website - let me know if you would like a personal attribution.

And the moron even advertises it as Queen Victoria !

Wonderful find - I've added it to my website. Let me know if you would like personal attribution. Regarding grade, I view the grade of a coin to be reflective of the amount of natural wear/circulation; any further damage should be included as a qualifier.

Yes, buy it if you like it but, in my opinion, there's nothing really to get excited about.

As Ian says, this is the result of a die clash and definitely NOT a "distinct ribbon knot". Some people may find it collectable, but it is not, in my view, an intentional or accidental man-made "variety". I have an example myself but I haven't even bothered to distinguish it from a "normal" 1859 large date penny.

Yes, the legend spacing is quite different between pennies and halfpennies. See my websites below for pictures.

It's exactly the same - they haven't changed a thing.

Oh dear, time to leave this Forum I guess.

Yes, at a certain angle with my coin above you can detect the H.

Come on guys, I go to this thread for a chuckle, not to read personal remarks.

Very similar to a coin of mine

Yes, there is no substitute for pictures of the actual coin.
