Hi Lucy Collect whatever you find interesting or attractive. Some. like me, collect pennies because of the huge range of different varieties but others collect different denominations. Only you will know what strikes a chord. As Chris says, buy a book (they aren't expensive), look through and decide whether something captures your imagination !

Heads up on the late Hiram Brown penny collection auction
secret santa replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Brilliant - mystery solved. But "why Wood ?"............. I guess to preserve anonymity. -
Just a decent F10 ?

Quickly, buy it before it's snapped up..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-1866-Victoria-One-Penny-Stamped/183473333688?hash=item2ab7dce5b8:g:cLQAAOSwszVbuTHM

This "Wood" character only gets mentioned at the end of bidding and merely signifies that it was a book (commission) bidder. It is the last word uttered by the auctioneer before the next lot. -

Michael Gouby has just told me that the "F6A Proof" has been returned to DNW - surprise, surprise ! -
This may have been asked before but my Chrome browser says that this site is not secure. Is that a problem ?

I listened to the F6A bidding and there were several bids so I think someone bought it - they'll be disappointed. -

Is this a DNW peculiarity or a general auction custom ? I've never heard it before. -

I thought that it would do a lot better - it was so obviously an F14, in a decent grade albeit with severe die cracks. -

An individual or just code for a book bidder ? -

Well done Mike. Someone I know checked out the F6A and assures me it's not proof. -

Interesting to watch part 2 today. Almost all the high quality copper and bronze went at good prices to a buyer (dealer) called "Wood". Some surprises - the 1860 E over P ( a genuine rarity) sold for £3000 less than it cost from LCA ! The F6 that they claimed to be F6A proof went for £1k. -
Could you put a photo up please Gary, for our information.

Absolutely no doubling of the queen's head but DEI is doubled together with the I of VICTORIA - so how exactly is this caused ? In the production of a new die ?
-
Actually much of the legend is doubled too.

coin news online

Any luck? Just logged on and I can access all digital mags back to Oct 2007 -
The last 8 in the date of both types look to have been reworked and are rather messy, but neither is an obvious overdate. At this time the Mint were using up old working dies and a larger number of altered dies are from this period Many of them have the reworked/overstruck 8 as John says which Bramah recorded as 25c. My own specimen (large date) has this plus the 1 over 1 and all numerals double struck.

Palladium and Hydrogenium
secret santa replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hydrogenium ? Had to Google that one - seems to be another word for hydrogen but I'm pretty sure palladium and hydrogen won't react together. -

Welcome to the 21st century. I worked in I.T. all my life but now it's making life unbearable. It must be time an A.I. robot joined the forum ? -

I did have a close look at this one in hand and it isn't that much better than the others plus it's got a nasty gouge on the queen's face. It's not as nice as the one you sold Bob.
