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

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

secret santa replied to Rob's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
First of all, the coins are poorly presented, apparently in random order. I checked the pennies and they don't seem to be in any sequence, e.g. date, which makes checking them tiresome. Secondly, they have a bog standard F10 covered in verdigris at £200 - totally unrealistic. Frankly, I'm surprised and disappointed. -

1873 penny. very wide colons after F D: touching the inner line and rotated to point towards the tooth
secret santa replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Here's a photo of an obverse 7 with that colon dot missing. Maybe they added it back in later and there may be obverse 7 coins with a mis-aligned colon ? -
Sadly there's no photo in their archive.
-
Do you what lot number this was Pete ?
-
here's Laurie Bamford's example.
-
Can someone please tell me how to produce this overlaid picture ? I can flip the reverse photo in Paint but don't know how to superimpose a rotated picture onto the obverse.
-
Pete sent me the following picture which nicely illustrates the source of the "crow's foot". It's interesting that, although the crow's foot is always in the same place, it's caused by a clash with another coin's reverse at an angle of around 30 degrees whereas I would have expected the reverse to be vertical.
-
This particular clash on Victoria's neck occurs quite often on coins from the 1860's and 70's and has been referred to as a "crow's foot". If you search the posts for this you will see several mentions and examples. I have one on an 1877 penny. As Rob says, almost certainly caused by the folds on Britannia's dress.
