1926 and 1927 pennies again
secret santa replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Well spotted Mike, I'll correct this asap. Interesting how different photos of the same coin can look different. -

I have now relabelled this reverse as a possible sub-variety of reverse Gouby d/Freeman C to avoid the confusion that you mention (which I should have spotted since I also wrote the penny appendix in the new Freeman !) and also because I don't think that there is sufficient difference to call it a different reverse type - it may be simply from a "sharper" proof die. Thanks for pointing this out. -

Can we explore this "mule" situation further. I've looked in Peck, Freeman and Gouby (albeit in a fairly cursory manner) and found nowhere where any of them refer to the 1926 ME as a "mule". Have you deduced that "All ME bronze was intended to be introduced with a modified reverse" or is that documented somewhere ? I'm looking for clarification, not a fight. -

When I set it up I tried to call it headsntails but the spurious 14 crept in from somewhere and I couldn't find a way in Wordpress to correct it so it ended up with a really clumsy URL. -

Corrected - thanks for pointing these out Jon - always happy to receive constructive comments. There are bound to be other typos in there. -

When someone has spent many hours of their own time constructing a website that will hopefully be useful to fellow collectors it might be more constructive and diplomatic to avoid describing part of its content as an "appalling error". -

So, they struck one coin correctly but thousands of "mules" incorrectly ? Not sure I agree with that Chris !!!! -

Don't hold your breath. -
I have spoken to Michael Gouby re this coin and he is 100% sure that it is an inverted A. He says : "The centre "A" bar is clear and solid. A tiny bit of the 'foot' of the inverted A can be seen just above the left leg of the 'V'. The 'I' of VIC has also been double struck. I am lucky enough to have taken an enhanced scan of the whole of the word VICTORIA. Richard, if you want to post this picture or my comments on the Pre Decimal website – feel free to do so. I am sorry that I don't seem to have time be active on the forum but I am always willing to help with any question that I can answer. Here is Michael's photo:

I'll start another thread devoted to the 1860Jb (V over inverted A) to avoid confusion.

In fact, I've just emailed him this minute.

I can see what you mean Pete. I wonder if Michael has the original photo ?

I hope you don't mind me putting your coin up on my rare penny website - I'll take it off if you wish, but devoted collectors like myself are very keen to see pictures of these very rare coins. I always put "private collection" when I haven't had permission to quote the owner's name or if they wish to remain anonymous.

Interesting thought - if I can get through to a human, I'll try it. -

Fedex consistently charge 20% - it's no mistake !!!!! And I've found reclaiming it to be impossible. -
For pictures of known 1933 pennies, see my rarest penny website below

Yes, if you buy anything in a Heritage auction they will ship by Fedex and you'll pay another 20% customs duty ! You need to factor that into your bid ! -

More like 20% via Fedex - I've never been able to reclaim the excess. -

Can anyone answer my question please ? -

So, will these coins be sent from the US or England ? It makes a huge difference to the shipping costs. -
Is the bottom falling out of the Penny market ?
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
DNW do indeed make up variety references - they also persistently quote a Bamford number against pennies which is absolute nonsense. These numbers are simply the lot number from the Laurie Bamford sale and bear no resemblance to any unique identifier or variety. I've emailed them to this effect but got no response or acknowledgement. -
Yes, that works and is new. Thanks Mike
