    No, at least on Ebay you can see the progressive bidding but with LCA you're completely blind, submitting commission bids and hoping that a) you'll win and b) you won't have to pay your top bid.

    It's possible that they really paid over the odds to get their first example and then want to wait a while for inflation to raise prices before they sell ?

    Hooray - that's really cheered me up.

    Yes, I was surprised at that. I've never been all that fussed about the triple F, even though it's a very clear "variety". There do seem to have been plenty of examples over the years.

    It's been up there as no.6 for a few weeks !

    Is it the copper proof (P1502) or bronzed copper proof (P1501) ? I don't think that I have ever seen a copper proof penny with full lustre - I assume that, when newly struck, they were lustrous ?

    Did anyone on here buy the 3rd known 1860 I over T last week (Roxbury auction, Australia) ?

    I'm happy that it's rev J.

    Yes, but that was Scotland. Nicola must have sorted it !

    I'd agree and would also say that the presence of a die crack doesn't constitute a variety, i.e. a unique combination of obverse and reverse types, and so I wouldn't expect to see die cracks (resulting from heavy die usage) mentioned in any reference book.

    The sooner the UK gets to net zero, the sooner the worldwide problem will be fixed and we'll all get back to normal.😎

    It doesn't show on the photo of my proof but I'll take a look in the flesh.

    I can't detect that line on any of my specimens.

    The ability to negotiate our own deals on Covid vaccines ?

    Absolutely - cabinet friction doesn't exist (unless you're Boris !)

    The true 1858 over 3 (or 2 as is now thought) always has a die flaw through the base of the date numerals:

    Rather catty ............

    Are you certain about this ?
  22. secret santa
    Does anyone ???????

    Please post a photo of the obverse
  24. secret santa
    Ah yes, I hadn't recalled that or even seen it when looking through it last night - I bow to your superior knowledge, Gary 😡

    I don't think that he goes into the number of die pairings found for any given variety but I'm willing to be proved wrong.
