    1897 dot penny. Advice needed.

    The interest will be sparked when someone discovers another like yours Zo. At the moment people collect the F147 dot because Freeman (for some reason) decided to formally record it. At the moment, yours is a spurious dot that might even come off when scratched and so will not become "official" until someone comes up with another specimen. Meanwhile, someone may decide to speculate on your coin in the hope that others may appear.
  2. What a super way to end the year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1861H F26?

    Teeth and linear circle are all part of the engraved die.

    1861H F26?

    All the F26s that I've looked at have the letters of BRITT very close to the linear circle so it's probably a clumsy repair to the linear circle that's impinged on the legend ?

    Time to sell my spare pennies

    Thanks again to those who have bought some of my spares. Yet again my plans to send them off today has proved over-ambitious ! I have sent off 5 lots today and plan to do most of the rest tomorrow, but the best laid plans and all that. Please be patient. I'll message each of you as your coins get posted. The coin dealers among you have more of my respect now, but then again, you probably have 2 or 3 secretaries to do all the admin........
  7. Can anyone tell me what this medallion-type of thing is please ? My wife picked it up at an antique shop for me. It is roughly bronze penny size.

    Time to sell my spare pennies

    Seems to be sorted now but I'd prefer to avoid.

    To any buyers - please don't try to pay me via Paypal - there's something wrong with it and it won't allow me to correct it. Very strange.

    Just for information guys - I'm playing golf today and tomorrow so won't be mailing re costs/postage until Sunday. Thanks to those who have requested coins.

    I will also go down to my local post office to find out what the various options are for postage with associated costs so that buyers can choose what method they'd like.

    Time to sell my spare pennies

    This afternoon I will sit down and work out who has asked for what, sort into order of timing, and indicate on the website which coins have been reserved. This is proving to be quite a demanding task - now I know what a coin dealer's life is like....... Please be patient.

    Time to sell my spare pennies

    I probably ought to add that I'll restrict to UK buyers as I have no experience of shipping coins abroad.

    Time to sell my spare pennies

    Thanks for the replies fellas. I will get around to responding to everyone tomorrow afternoon and where several people have asked for the same coin, I will offer on a first come, first served basis for fairness.

    1p varieties

    Does anyone know if Ron Stafford is still around ? I used to exchange letters but haven't heard from him for a few years.

    20th century 'scrap' bronze pile- variety hunt?

    I'm not a million miles away (south oxon) and find that offer rather tantalising...........

    Cameo or not ? Be wary !

    The latest email from Sovereign Rarities lists coins variously described as "Deep Cameo" and "Ultra Cameo". Are these places just trying to invent grades to get more money out of collectors ?

    1917 Missing waves?

    And the king's moustache has been twirled on the right coin - or is it Hercule Poirot ????
