March 2018 LCA
secret santa replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
When they featured this in the preview I emailed them and suggested they describe it as F762 which it is and, although they thanked me for my email, they ignored me ! But it's rare one and whereas Michael Gouby originally suggested it might be a "late strike for VIPs", presumably because of the inverted reverse, the article by Paul Holland in the 2017 BNJ suggests it was an early strike and from a working die rather than a proof die. Still very rare though. -
Penny Acquisition of the week

C'est la vie - it was always a possibility even though a little disappointing. -

I'm glad you're pleased with it Mike. Always nice to see a collector add to his/her collection rather than someone buying just to make some easy money ! -
Pete, is there any way that you can get me the photos to add to my website ?
-
Is a metal detector included ?

1900 Penny .. dot after O in One
secret santa replied to Colin88's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
why oh why did Freeman have to record F147 ?????????????????? -
Thanks Mike - that was a hell of a bargain.
-
Definitely - yes please. If collectors have further examples of any of the rare pennies shown, I'd appreciate details to further improve evidence of rarity.
-
Mike Have I got that one on my rarest website ? R
-
Thanks Declan, and Pete has just mailed me a copy so Happy Days.
-
Great work Declan. Would you mind if I use your stats on 1913 pennies for my penny varieties site ?

1911 1d die break through date
secret santa replied to coinkat's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Don't recall seeing one but a die break shouldn't be enough to make it a particular variety (IMO) -
Upload pictures here please, not external hosts
secret santa replied to Peckris's topic in Forum technical help and support
I do something very similar - I take high quality pics with a digital SLR and macro lens, store them on my PC and on ONEdrive (cloud) whilst keeping a duplicate set of pics reduced in size by 60% using Photostudio (from 2 or 3 megabytes to <500 Kb) on both for uploading to here or websites. -
1965 Elizabeth II British Crown (Winston Churchill) 1.0.0 (JayBart55)
secret santa replied to Peckris's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Looks like a standard currency issue to me but I'm not an expert. When I took a holiday job in 1965 as a lorry driver's mate, we used to transport antique furniture quite often, and the shop owner used to sometimes tip us a Churchill crown which, considering that Smithfield Market would tip us sixpence, was a small fortune. -

I have decided to sell my spare pennies. I shall put them into auction next year but in the meantime I have created a website with prices should any of you wish to buy them upfront. There should be something for everyone in here. PM me if you wish to buy anything and we can arrange payment (preferably through bank transfer or Paypal). mysparepennies
