    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 !
  3. secret santa
    This may have been asked before but my Chrome browser says that this site is not secure. Is that a problem ?

    If he does, then he has the best coin collection in the world.

    I listened to the F6A bidding and there were several bids so I think someone bought it - they'll be disappointed.
  6. secret santa
    Is this a DNW peculiarity or a general auction custom ? I've never heard it before.
  7. secret santa
    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 ?
  9. secret santa
    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 ?
  13. secret santa
    Actually much of the legend is doubled too.

    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.

    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.
  17. secret santa
    Nice one, Mike.

    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 ?

    Yes, the last example on the page.

    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.

    I was there and saw a bidder win the unc 1897 dot - was that one of our forum members ?
  23. secret santa
    I do - they send a monthly email with a link that you simply log into. I'll try out the back issue option and let you know.
  24. secret santa
    He did !
  25. secret santa
    I've emailed him - it'll be interesting to see whether he pulls it !
