And as I said above, the Home pages of each website explain the rarity codes used. The rare penny site uses Freeman's rarity codes and the pennyvarieties site uses Peck and Gouby codes. The fact that Gouby and Freeman both use a prefix of "R" can be confusing but the two sites are independent and do not cross refer or compare.
-
Thanks for the advice. Read the Home pages and you'll see the references to Freeman's and Gouby's rarity codes.

Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Got a nice 1862 F39A last week. Fantastic condition but cleaned - pity but it was cheap.

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 !

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 ?
-
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.
-
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. -

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 ?
