    Crucial estimate missing (£80-$100) !!!

    They have replied that it's in Kent. But now I can't access their website - is anyone else having problems ?

    Thanks Mike - I emailed them to ask, earlier today but got no response.
  5. secret santa
    Does anyone know where this auction will take place ? There's no mention of location.
  6. secret santa
    My apologies - you're quite right. I need to keep out of this as this is not my area of expertise.

    Dracott describes the article as an update to his 2004 article but it's inconsistent to arbitrarily replace #suffixes with 1. He also describes 1873 7+C1 as a new die pairing with 3 known. I assume that this is the same as the previous 7+C# which was unique at the time of his 2004 article but, in theory could be an additional die pairing if C1 is "new" and different from C#. The new article deserves expansion together with photos to illustrate the new varieties.

    Let me know if you can't and I'll send a scan. I don't like to criticise but the penny section contains numerous narrative descriptions that really need photographic examples and there are a few errors, such as 1861 pennies with the "2" in various positions !!!

    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, Cliff

    Thanks Mike but lot 2623 isn't a DFF

    15 in 5 years - just about qualifies for entry. I wonder where they are now ? Come on guys - let's see them all.

    I think I'll add this to the rare penny website - can I ask any owners to send me their pictures please.
  17. secret santa
    Yes, try my varieties website, Bruce.

    I guess I've never really got around to it..............

    Thanks Ian. I've added this information to my varieties and collection websites, acknowledging you as source.

    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.
