    Goubys The British bronze penny .

    Not quite - section 3 (pages 33 to 94) has been updated in its entirety with new varieties and pictures, so several new pages with suffixes (but not 94) - I'm helping with the proof reading.

    "No sweat" said a spokesman for Prince Andrew.
  9. As we get more and more divided by issues like Brexit, left v right, handling of the virus, etc, you may have a point.
  10. Now, there's a surprise - with auctioneering behind closed doors, record prices are achieved.

    I do have 2 photos of that coin and one does suggest an underlying 7 but the other doesn't. I'm sure it's not there. Trick of the light. Angles and lighting can make such a difference.

    Also found in 1856 where PT is large date and OT is small date. I believe that 1858/6 is always small date whereas 1858/3 (or 2), 1858/7 and 1858/? (Bramah 25c) are large date. 1858 small date exists without overdate.
  20. How does Easylive work - is there actually a live auction with an auctioneer taking online bids in real time with sound/vision ?
  21. I believe they were struck from sand-blasted dies for photographic purposes but that's only hearsay. The photos were taken through a slab but, as Freeman states, "the obverse is in extremely low relief".
  22. I have a set of matt proof 1953 penny, halfpenny and farthing and the farthing is a 1+A.
