1875 F79 Penny
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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 Michael's Victoria edition has superseded the early pennies but it covers Edward VII to Elizabeth II.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

Thanks Mike. -

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

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

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.

Oh dear, the buyer has refused to pay me, accusing me of threats and extortion and trying to benefit from the situation. He says he will pay the RM if they ask for the repayment of the compensation, despite me explaining calmly and politely that it's a totally different issue (and contract) from purchase of the coin. -
I also think that, given that fact that this style of date numeral 5 didn't appear until 1853 at the earliest and is quite different from the various styles of 5 used in 1851, makes it quite likely that this is not genuine.

Did you not read what I wrote 9 hours ago ? " I have now found the tracking number and interrogation of the Royal Mail system shows that it was delivered on 31/12/20 together with a photograph of the signature of the neighbour who received it." Is that not PROOF ? Together with his photograph of the coin on his website, that seems reasonable proof to me. -

I totally agree and always put everything in writing. I've taken screen shots of the RM tracking result as shown above and kept all email correspondence with the buyer and will endeavour to communicate with the RM in print.
