Would you be able to scan it and mail it to me ? It would be quite nice to make my pennyvarieties site as complete a list of varieties as possible. -

I've just mailed a friend at Spink to see if he can help. Watch this space. -

Your rather dismissive reply ignores the fact that a recognised source of such information would act as a reference point to help collectors identify their coins and, of course, to prevent people like me claiming a new variety every day. -

I'll try to get hold of this article. Does this imply that there is no agreed definitive list of all these patterns, proof and restrikes ? And no custodian of such an inventory ? -

I was wrong - the incuse curl is present on the earlier Peck numbers, just not as well-defined as my P1342 above. These 2 photos are of my P1323 and KP30/KP31 mule. I take it all back - Peck is correct. -

I can't see this curl on any of the other pennies. Edit: But wait - maybe I can - I'll do some more research......................................... -

Just checked and it does have the engrailed edge. -

Also, Peck states on page 371 that the currency penny P1342 has the incuse curl "as on all the preceding pennies", i.e proof pennies P1321 to P1341 - but I believe that none of these preceding pennies have the curl - do you agree ? -

Are the Taylor restrikes not included in Peck ? I'm woefully ignorant about these early copper coins. -
Is this a BP1860 BB?
secret santa replied to hazelman's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The rims on the rare obverses A and B are much wider, much like the reverse on the coin you posted above. -

Stuff to Make Us Laugh
secret santa replied to Madness's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Years ago, when I played hockey every Saturday, we were sometimes a man short and the opposition would lend us a spare player. A colleague of mine who wrote the match reports would always refer to the borrowed player as "Bill Anchor" in the match report and his name would appear as W Anchor in the team listing at the end. Our local paper never spotted it and we had many a chuckle seeing it in print. -

Christmas hampers

And definitely the same to you Blake, I do hope you find some merriness over the festive period. -
The human race is unbelievably arrogant, granting ourselves "human rights" that even overrule the basic rules of society sometimes and deciding that other "lesser" species on the evolutionary scale are worthy of preservation for the purposes of entertainment or sustenance.

Oops, missed that !

Thanks Guys - what did it go for ?

Actually, I don't think it does (but I could be wrong)

That was the (apostrophe) flaw as opposed to the dot, so when is a dot not a dot .......................?
