1860 penny
secret santa replied to Iannich48's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
On obverse C1 the 6th to 11th beads below the bust touch the bust whereas on C they do not. -
1923 Half crown I missed
secret santa replied to bagerap's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What auction was that ? -
1875 F79 Penny
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I agree about the F77 - very hard to get lustrous examples, likewise F20/25, but my records show that F14 grows more plentiful with lustre all the time (at least 18 to date). -
1875 F79 Penny
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've added a page to my rarest penny site called "Scarce Pennies" and included a few such as the 1863 open 3, F79, F98, F164A etc each with a single example. I'm interested to hear other suggested inclusions. -
Any suggestions for a cheap and safe method to convert PDF files to JPeg ?

Yes, it's Ceri Davies' coin - it's a shame he doesn't share his collection. -

I think it's Ceri's ? I'll use the James Workman example to avoid any issues of misuse. -

Anyone got a photo of a lustrous one please ? -

I've got a bit of time on my hands at the moment so I might create a page - it's simple to remove it from the menu if I find that it's common. -
1875 F79 Penny
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've maintained a record of rare penny sales for about 15 years but never included F79 - going back through similar records as Mike has, I find about 16 examples, of which some may be duplicates. It's an unspectacular die pairing and has never attracted any attention. -

I have a feeling that there only around a dozen penny collectors on the Forum so we may not get a very representative selection ? -
1858/3 Penny
secret santa replied to Hussulo's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Although neither drawing is particularly accurate - the 5 with the pointed top should be noticeably fatter, and the 5 with the bulb top should have the curved part closer to the top bar - unless he was working from completely different versions ? -
1858/3 Penny
secret santa replied to Hussulo's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Interesting but this diagram is a little confusing as it doesn't correspond to his descriptions of the date numeral 5 on page 2 which agree with my own findings: the tops of the 5s are in direct contrast to my findings for dates from 1856-59. large date small date -
A must-have for penny collectors. Michael's Victoria edition has superseded the early pennies but it covers Edward VII to Elizabeth II. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-coin-book-The-British-bronze-penny-1860-1970-by-Michael-Gouby/363269173178?hash=item549487afba:g:XFYAAOSwRFtgDGIm

I bought this as an 8 over 3 but it's the type that Michael argues is 8 over 2. -
Rare coin lost in post

Not resolved - watch this space. -
1875 F79 Penny
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks for the pics, Jerry. I've taken a second look through auction archives and I've now recorded 16 examples, most of which are a decent grade, so it looks as though it may only be scarce rather than rare but almost certainly less common than Freeman's R13 would suggest. -
Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I don't know - I think it was Terry that mentioned it on here a while ago and I've been looking out for one. Maybe someone else can shed more light ? -
Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
A 1921 F191 missing waves finally arrived from the US. Not really a variety but the first coin that I've bought for a while. -
What did it go for ? Just found it - $960 plus commission, shipping and customs

Can someone explain how the border legend has been double struck but the central design has not ? The obverse is the same.
