  1. Looking over 5 examples that I readily found online without much searching, 3 had a rotated R and 2 the straight R. Perhaps the straighter R is less common?
  2. I did get one of these in the end thanks to @hazelman I was wondering if the new rio olympics 50p will be circulating or is it only going to be available for a fiver from the Royal Mint or of course for a tenner on ebay (!)
  3. The same situation applies with the 1860 N over sidesways N (or Z). The first is the normal variety, the second I have just spotted with a rotated R in BRITT on the obverse .
  4. Another top class coin Pete. Hopefully you'll stop soon enough and leave something for the rest of us
  5. Good idea you have as well, I imagine it would be nice to reminisce. If you plan on handing out a few examples though, I would maybe grab some more worn pieces that you don't mind getting a few finger marks on!
  6. What sort of price are you looking to pay. Doing a quick search I found this for £45 from Penny Crown Coins, who is a great guy that I would highly recommend.
  7. Go for somewhere between 1890-1894 (if you want the young head), they'll be some of the cheapest years if you just want one example. It's true that you're being sniped Dave, but even if they didn't snipe and put a bid in with an hour to go, their bid would still have been higher than yours anyway.
  8. Dave, that's a snipe bid (there are websites you can go to where you enter your details and maximum bid and the program will run and make a bid in the very last seconds of the auction).
  9. The bids generally tend to reflect the value, what you are saying is you are getting outbid on your bid which is below the value of the coin. Some good suggestions above, perhaps look at some trusted dealer's stock?
  10. Spanker, particularly the reverse. Good buy.
  11. Happy birthday David, have a great day!
  12. The dot flaws I've seen on this year are also all in the same place as the first example, as is my own. The specimens 1 + 2 of your photos look like the same flaw to me, with a circle encompassing it and also the same damage to the teeth above it albeit more worn on the second specimen.
  13. One with lustre, don't see many of these around.
  14. Yes, looks good.
  15. Things are working now, one issue is that the upgrade seems to have removed all of the posts from the activity feed, all bar the 'messages' that others have done to each other that are viewable by all, and the notifications. Not a problem I suppose for now, as long as future ones start to update. I'll check after this post.
  16. I think I know the fix now, I've PM'ed Chris.
  17. Error EX1146 by any chance?
  18. Getting the same thing here Ian. I reported it last night to Chris to see if he can help because I have no idea what's causing it. You can go through the forum section to look at the threads still, just the activity and unread content sections aren't working.
  19. Wow I didn't realise that you found the Freeman 192a in change! What a find..
  20. Like that one David. Wouldn't mind one of those in the collection too. I have a 1963 with a very faint 6 but nothing compared to this!
  21. I think the link/catalogue is out early next week. Rest assured, it's an extremely comprehensive and well attributed collection, another one that some of us will have to pick and choose about which rarities we can afford and which we can let go! At least by the sounds of it it's not a put a highest bid down and hope you win, easier to manage what you'll end up paying.
  22. Not sure if it's online bidding or not, I've never bought from Colin Cooke except directly. Pete can help answer that though I'm sure.
  23. It's just a expansive collection of pennies, when auctions have a big sale for a collection owned by an individual they normally name it for posterity or future attribution. Normally the collector's name. I have a few pennies from the Dr. Findlow collection, it helps refer back for the history of a coin.
