Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks Ian - latest coin added to site. Thanks also for the background on the other 2 coins. Out of interest, how do you know that lot 3115 was sold on Ebay in 2008 ? LCA doesn't mention that in its description. Same with Lot 2624. -

Thanks Pete - I've added it to the website, attributed to the Forum. -
Bramah states that the first colon is sometimes "discoverable".

Good spot, Ian - all 3 of my examples have this little lump on the G.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255194362264?hash=item3b6ac4f198:g:VV8AAOSw3L1hdYTQ Why oh why do people do this ? Do they really think that someone might buy it ? Are there really people out there paying stupid money for worthless coins ?

Reverse D designs can and do vary quite a lot, albeit in very small ways but the reverse of my F22 seems to match the reverse of the coin question pretty convincingly, especially in the folds of Britannia's gown and left sleeve.

DNW auction today - The Ian Sawden collection
secret santa replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes, coming back to your original point, a total uplift of 33.8% on the Ian Sawden sale is outrageous compared with the 5% that I used to pay at Croydon Coin Auction when I started out going to auctions. -

Thanks Mike, I should have noticed that as I'd asked DNW to send me the catalogue for the auction. It's a good thing to have on the shelf, sitting nicely alongside the Colin Adams catalogue. -

I've no idea why Import Duty is payable - maybe Ian Sawden lived abroad ? -
DNW auction today - The Ian Sawden collection
secret santa replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Actually Mike, it's only 5%. Commission is Buyer's premium (24% of hammer + VAT) + Import (5% of hammer) i.e £1000 hammer attracts £288 premium plus £50 import - £1338.00 total Nevertheless, an additional 5% is less than welcome ! -

I watched in awe at the prices realised - I was worried a while ago that the market was dropping - not any more !!! -
New variety of Victorian Penny reverse D
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Plain old "D" I think. -
Just recounted - both sides of the fake have 160 teeth.
-
Yes, they are very good likenesses but fortunately they have different numbers of border teeth. True 1933 - obverse 162 teeth, reverse 184 teeth Fake 1933 - obverse 160 teeth, reverse 159 teeth ( I did a quick count and must check these)
-
Are you able to name its owner ?
-
Sorry about the size and quality of pics but, comparing the obverse of the "fake" against the real thing, the fake has 10 teeth across the width of REX whereas the real thing has 11 teeth.
