I don't want to pick a fight or even start a lengthy debate but, if we define a classic "variety" as being a particular die-pairing of a unique obverse design with a unique reverse design, thereby becoming a unique combination of obverse and reverse, then F164A fits slap bang into that definition.

Strange that Freeman didn't know about its existence between 1969 and 1978 - make the DNW provenance of "discovery coin" a little less important ?

Victoria Penny 1867
secret santa replied to Fletch's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Often called the "crow's foot" this die clash occurs on many dates - this one is an 1877. -
That's why they call it a "modified effigy".

Well spotted Gents - I put this up on my website without thoroughly checking. Shame on me ! -
Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Nice one Mike - I need one like this. By the way, if you would crop your photos, you'd save me hours😀 -
Yes, it's as straightforward as that. Do exactly as Mike says. Or, if you want, I shall be attending and could bid up to your maximum on your behalf.

I suspect they'll get added over the next few days. -
It's a nice clean example - go for it !

A lot of new specimens of some real rarities - I wonder whose collection it was ? -

So, Brexit....What's happening?

I voted to leave but the biggest threat to us now is a Corbyn government rather than staying in the EU. -

Boris could end up with the shortest tenure ever. -

Boris or Jeremy ? The circus starts again today. -
Is the given letter or number to a gap or a tooth?

My own 1877 F90 originally went up at 99p so I immediately contacted the vendor to tell him it was worth thousands and not to accept a tempting cash offer. Wound up driving up to Derby to inspect the coin before paying an arm and a leg for it !

Julie Etchingham - she's lovely. Reads our news at 10 on ITV quite often.

Shyster !!!!!!!!!!!!! I messaged them after they put up the first 1877 "narrow date" to correct them and, when they didn't, I threatened to message Ebay at which stage they replied that their (I don't know their gender) father had just died and they hadn't had time. This may be true but I suspect not.

Mobile banking apps - what's the big deal?

Sadly, I have to locate, and put on, reading glasses to operate a mobile phone. This trend to do more and more with one's mobile phone drives me to distraction. I don't normally carry reading glasses around with me but soon I'll have to have them grafted to my face. -

Talking of coins not being what they purport to be, I see our old friend Lukasz has come up with another rarity - he certainly finds more than his fair share. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victoria-Penny-1862-Struck-In-Silver-RARE/333252930899?hash=item4d976c2d53:g:pFAAAOSwug5dGQJJ

Got it - thanks Mike.

I may have missed these - can anyone supply links ?

I'm deeply suspicious of this vendor. His photographs seem to be randomly taken on a leather sofa, in his hand etc etc but his feedback is 100%. Has anyone done business with Torcoins ?
