Very unlikely to get one, they were a highly collected design even before ran their article about how 'rare' it is. I had already completed my collection of 50ps probably a month before they did, I think I paid £5 for it on eBay!

maybe extra die polishing and/or more strikes? Not too sure though

Just google 'eBay snipe', there are plenty of sites and they'll walk you through it

I'm glad you didn't pay too much for that 1934, when the seller first got it back from CGS it went up on eBay with an £800 buy it now price! Ludicrous. 1934 is probably my favourite year in the penny denomination, this side of 1900. It's extremely underrated and one of the few years I would buy duplicates of even though I already have a few examples. Here are the 2 of my best;

I've had 4 or 5 emails/messages from different people with the 403 error, I suppose it was an issue with the host as it seems everyone was having the same problem. As far as I can tell it should be OK now though?

I can't lie, it's pretty nice out today.

1889 Penny / Die Pairings and Date Widths
Nordle11 replied to alfnail's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I suppose the first used being the straight R, as Jerry pointed out the rotated R examples have a very badly repaired A, even the one in the picture I posted it is easy to see. -

I think just a collector with many, many spares! -
1889 Penny / Die Pairings and Date Widths
Nordle11 replied to alfnail's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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? -
It's Pete o´clock, the hour that you list a ton of coins. People don't want to miss out...

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 (!)

1889 Penny / Die Pairings and Date Widths
Nordle11 replied to alfnail's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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 . -

Another top class coin Pete. Hopefully you'll stop soon enough and leave something for the rest of us -
I keep getting outbid for a Victoria coin
Nordle11 replied to Davethepitch's topic in Beginners area
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! -

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. -

Nordle11 replied to Davethepitch's topic in Beginners area
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. -

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). -

Nordle11 replied to Davethepitch's topic in Beginners area
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? -
Best part of this forum is learning something new everyday! The '39 shouldn't give you much trouble and while the '31 and '35 are quite common I find they're both underrated and will at least pose a little bit of a challenge to find nice, problem free ones. The '31 especially as it has a low mintage in comparison to it's neighboring years.

Yes it'll be big money, however it's definitely more of a case of finding one with lustre first which is not easy. The coins from that year were toned at the mint so you have to find one that managed to escape the toning or avoided it from being secured between 2 other coins from that year. Just taking some photos now.

1929 and 1920 I have, I will send some pictures along with the 1934. Matt

1934 with lustre is a big ask Jon. I have a spare 1934 I will send you some pictures.

1909 DOT Penny Variants
Nordle11 replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
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.
