    Out of interest, may I ask where this picture came from ?
  2. secret santa
    You can't really compare this with the 1877 F90 which is one of the truly most sought after rarities in the bronze penny range, instantly recognisable and a true "variety", whereas the BP1860Jb is more of a "novelty" variety without being disrespectful to it. I suspect that not many people look for it, but it is interesting and congratulations for finding another example.

    Thanks Terry - I'll add it to the site.
  4. secret santa
    I don't think so. Terry - that's my own coin and it's not the one featured here.

    ??
  6. secret santa
    Do I have this one on my website ?
  7. secret santa
    It's not PFENNY - it's PFNNY
  8. secret santa
    I was going to say that it's fine on my PC but then it took around 20 seconds to come up.

    Definitely not an H - as in all your pictures of the 1875H, the H is below the 7 and 5 whereas on your coin, the shadowy "H" is higher.
  10. secret santa
    I would say it's an F82. The figure 5 is more upright on the 1875H.
  11. secret santa
    Yes, "The British Bronze Penny 1860 to 1970", but it's out of print (it's another A4 ring binder).
  12. secret santa
    It's not really a paperback - it's A4 pages held in a ring binder.
  13. secret santa
    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.
  15. secret santa
    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.
  19. secret santa
    Yes, the legend spacing is quite different between pennies and halfpennies. See my websites below for pictures.
  20. secret santa
    It's exactly the same - they haven't changed a thing.
  21. secret santa
    Oh dear, time to leave this Forum I guess.
  22. secret santa
    Yes, at a certain angle with my coin above you can detect the H.
  23. secret santa
    Come on guys, I go to this thread for a chuckle, not to read personal remarks.
  24. secret santa
    Very similar to a coin of mine
  25. secret santa
    Yes, there is no substitute for pictures of the actual coin.
