1926 Change of Effigy
secret santa replied to youliveyoulean's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No - this rare, possibly unique, penny has the modified effigy obverse but the true 1927 reverse. -
Can anyone tell me about or point me to a reference about the Royal Mint Trial 12-sided £1 coin, many of which are for sale on Ebay. I'm particularly interested in the number minted, how they were distributed/applied for, etc etc

Thanks Mike, just what I wanted.

Certainly - ignore their description. You're virtually correct in that all three are examples of early beaded border pattern F763 but lots 2833 and 2972 are Gouby A+b where the R & E of REG touch at the base and lot 2834 is Gouby A1+b where R & E do NOT touch at the bottom. All 3 are rare and should fetch broadly similar prices.

I have 2 Peter Nichols cabinets and the second was bought second hand at a London Coins auction - some of the drawers didn't have the size of recess that I wanted but I sent one off to Peter Nichols and they made me half a dozen of the same size with the recesses that I wanted that fitted exactly. It's not a bad way of getting a quality cabinet designed to your particular reqts.

No - I don't think a scan from his book will transfer very effectively -

Yes Terry, considering the number of reverse G coins struck over 14 years, I think this open P version must be quite scarce if not rare. I'll leave it to other collectors to check their coins to shed more light. I've just looked through some of my stored pictures and I've found roughly 3 other F37 proofs with open P and roughly 3 without (I say roughly because some of the pics aren't high enough resolution to tell). I haven't found any other F20 examples. -

I haven't found any of the slanting P types but I have found 2 open P types, on an F20 and F37 proof. See pics. -

The 1958 Halfpenny is for sale on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VIP-PROOF-1958-HALF-PENNY-NGC-PF64RB-CAMEO-LESS-THAN-10-STRUCK-IN-PROOF-/162447813742?hash=item25d2a4ec6e:g:G2EAAOSwImRYCR3Q It has been graded by NGC as Proof 64RB Cameo but is this a recognised grade/state/variety or just NGC's own opinion ?

Terry, I remember you mentioning this to me a while ago. Have you found this type paired with other obverses ? -
I am fairly well aware of Freeman numbers. It's just that having told the poster that a particular penny with inverted reverse was an F762, he signed off with his name and F763 and I wasn't sure why.

If she's quick, there's a 1933 on Ebay at the moment, latest bid a bargain £620 (there's one born every minute) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1933-George-V-Penny-/142353628210?hash=item2124effc32:g:mMwAAOSwIWVY9Rdc -
Not sure why you put F763 at the end of your post. Is it because your coin is F763 ?
