I emailed Steve Hill about that yesterday and it was just in time for them to correct before printing the catalogues.

Martin, if you click on the link and bring up the PDF, there should be an icon somewhere on the top right like a downward arrow above above a "tray" - if you click on this it will download the PDF to a folder that you nominate.

Stuff to Make Us Laugh

You must be exhausted............. -
I think "proof-like" should be taken with a pinch of salt. The scratches look quite harsh. P.S. Victoria is on the obverse; Britannia on the reverse.

Hope nobody heard you taking pictures in the toilet - some incorrect assumptions may have been made ! -
Gouby says this variety (1898Ab) is "scarce ?" But 1898 Ba and Ca are both "rare" So, almost certainly No but I doubt that anyone has done a serious analysis.

There was an explosion yesterday in a Japanese car parts factory - apparently it was raining Datsun cogs. -

I have an advance notice of this and there are some fantastic penny rarities in the sale.

Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I have made mention of this being now found on an F15 on my varieties website (without using your images). Please reassure me that you are happy for me to make reference to it. -
Yes, especially as I messaged him a few days ago to tell him it's a modern replica.

Yet another seller trying it on..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267031963314?itmmeta=01JAE84Q7N90TDWNDGG4FNXX4A&hash=item3e2c5866b2:g:C~cAAOSwsExnESii&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKn0kJg003yHYLOxjTi%2F9VJ3XWF4rXPP7M7umpLAzY4NYWkkDPjUBV4B4oim95aa48o05mOInXxyS7KbgNzEgVmxIYLccmqN5rJbdLBIR3s3Pg19RZTDnc99%2FuspL%2BW6ISDSJO4CUJQXnD%2BvG5TAG3CFwzFbVGEgb0RM8Kx0mm%2B2K3A%2FgBlnSqQBSHGl8Rho7kqsk8%2F32TGdPzHKZqnHqTMu2cnoukWaC0q69WoQZ2bQVvC7aKK2AFmDye6tDEyTsY2HxhlqqMtWqGlVCuSndgoR|tkp%3ABk9SR_jzksjTZA

Minor GB Penny Queries 1899 narrow date 1880 higher 0 and 1889 Victoria's Nose
secret santa replied to The Bee's topic in Free for all
I think there may be something in this because the "fatter face" becomes more obvious with wear and so the queen may have noticed in 1892 that the modified obverse was becoming distinctly less flattering with wear (see example below) and requested a reversion to the original obverse R (Freeman 12). -

I have now changed this obverse from a "sub-variety" of Obverse R (Freeman 12) to an Unrecorded Obverse R* on the varieties website. -

secret santa replied to The Bee's topic in Free for all
Interestingly, and obviously when you think about it, the versions of 1889 F127 with the missing serifs are the normal obverse R. -

As she was with the initial unadopted beaded obverse A and B on the pennies. -

I think this theory is gaining ground, especially when you compare the modified obverse to the 1895 veiled head obverse: Modified obverse R Veiled head obverse It may be a prototype stage before the final "old head" design.
