Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The waves are the clue - clear daylight between base of waves and double exergue. -
1861 Penny anything there?

Pareidolia........................ -
Thanks Mike - fascinating and very relevant to numismatics !
-
That's not in my dictionary, Jerry - is it an obscure Welsh word ?

If you haven't got it, buy "The Standard Guide To Grading British Coins" (from Predecimal). It nicely describes and illustrates the grades (states of wear) on all the major obverses and reverses. Every design has its high point of relief which shows wear first, and on George V obverses it's around the eye and top of ear which wears first, reducing it to EF as in your 1934 penny.

My mate Bernie Workman will be most upset !!!!!

Yup, F33. Take a look at my varieties website (below) to help with identifying obverse/reverse varieties.

I believe that they are probably scarce rather than rare. The more we discuss them, the more people will check their own coins and the more will emerge from the woodwork. That's been true of the 1863 open 3, the 1903 open 3 and the 1911 hollow neck.

1862 penny - VIGTORIA or not?
secret santa replied to Voynov_BG's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think you are slightly undervaluing them given recent sale prices. -
Liam Could put the obverse up as well or PM me a photo and I'll add it to the website although they're coming out of the woodwork so fast that it may prove to be not so rare as I thought. Richard

Could well be.

Thanks Rob - who's the baby ? (BM = British Museum ?) Was it issued in 1897 ? -
1877 pennies exist in a variety of widths. It's pity that you can't count the teeth on your examples. Gouby's Victoria penny book shows good examples. Here's a wide one.

Spread of coins between grades
secret santa replied to MickM's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Well, he did say Freeman 8 closer ribbons above. -
Spread of coins between grades
secret santa replied to MickM's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think he means the F77 and 78 varieties with obverse 8. They are both rare in high grades. -

Tim, do you mean G reverses, or a different obverse ? -
This is the penny that was sold by Heritage last year for £150K - this guy needs reporting !!!

Our friend Lukasz has put an E over P on Ebay but it's a beaded border penny, i.e. unrecorded. Do I smell a rat or is this an exciting new find ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victoria-Penny-1860-E-Over-P-Variety-Very-RARE/332425153468?hash=item4d66154bbc:g:WdsAAOSwT2dZ8E9b
