PWA 1967

Richard is right its OBV 3 which is on F13 .

If anyone has any CGS graded pennies in high grade for type that they wish to sell at a FAIR price please message me. Unlikely probably on here 🙂 but you never know and will be buying them if anyone does have any for the next couple of weeks. I am not buying them at daft prices though ,just the same as i have never sold them to forum members at inflated prices. Pete.

I made a few phone calls and sent pictures of this coin to a couple of people to see if they could help or tell me the reason for this 1858 penny and other copper pennies i have seen as to why the right breast was completely flat even though the coin was UNC. Due to it being the deepest / highest part of the die the metal from the blank did not fill the die ,either from not being struck hard enough or just being engaved to deep.So not always wear or a blocked die if the right breast is flat but the rest of the coin fully struck and UNC. Made good sense to me ,so thought i would share on here.

Only in plastic sorry which are not the best .

I doubt very much there was another one on Gary ,so would say yes 🙂

No the seller on eBay gave it me 😂 👍

1858 Large rose . Although this is a Large date its by far the best one i have found in five years and rare in UNC grade.

Click on the 3 lines on the left hand side ,scroll down to current sock, base metal or whatever it is your looking for.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Victorian-Bronze-Penny-1860-1901-M-J-Freeman-POST-FREE/254728522948 Surprised these have not sold this morning as you dont see it for sale often.

I think its probably more likely to have toned like that from being on display possibly with a light over it being magnified under glass.They dont take long to tone with any kind of heat and only a guess but imo more likely than just being put away.

Yes the format has been changed Jerry ,i have sent you the original which i have that clearly shows your name and initials by the pictures , obviously an error on Michaels part . 🙂 The original also shows B.Devitt and have not got a clue were Barrie came from.

I have been reading this earlier and dont know why but Michael was given the names of Blake devitt and Jerry by myself ,confirmed with me by email. Why one he has called Barrie ,unless that is correct and not what i mailed him and Jerry are not mentioned i have no idea. Pete.

Hat off Eric ,nice to find something you have been looking for that is so hard to find 👍

If you are putting them on here Ian ,i suggest maybe a new thread to keep everything together. Maybe Copper pennies ,as will be easier to see as a reference and not get lost and easier to find.

Will someone scan it for me please 😃

A good indicator for a true 1854/3 is the hair detail ,the ones i have seen have all been struck with not much hair from an old 1853 OBV die. If a coin has all the hair in a condition of VF or better from what i have seen it wont be one. The Alderley coin which i have seen in hand had good lustre and a really good example was graded As Struck in the catalogue ,reason being it was so weak to the OBV. So as daft as it sounds to find a really good one means you are looking for a really bad one to the OBV 😃 Looking at the hair means you can quickly discount the majority if your not sure looking at the date in pictures. Lots of 1854/3 are miss described IMO as are the 1858/2 & 1858/3 as regardless of what people think they are , they are both different coins. Only the coin with a die crack through the date is thought to be over a 2 and has a different font than the other.

It does not matter ,although i think to correct you the previous packet was signed for although not by yourself the sqiggle was exactly the same.They also as i mentioned didnt call at your property as i told them it did not matter for a small amount ,i dont think they lied and just follow a procedure that they have in place. The postman who has the packet is fully responsible for its delivery and the signiture , he has been passed it for delivery that morning ,if he is then questioned the GPS is able to monitor exactly were he was and at what time. This is more for anyone else reading the post that if you send something that requires a signiture the post office very rarely dont deliver it. With regards your own delivery Chris ,if you had phoned them they would of found it or atleast confirmed with the postman who did sign for it.

Only just seen this Chris 😃 In fairness to the post office they could not of done anymore. As they told me the packet was delivered and signed for with exactly the same signiture as one sent to the same address a couple of weeks before.Them looking at other deliveries most were signed the same and the postman has a GPS system ,this shows them that the signiture was made at the property.They did ask if i wanted someone to call round and for £20 and not really of any of any value or scarcity told them not to bother.I dont know if someone else lives at the property or signs on your behalf but they were sure the packet had been delivered and were quite keen to help 👍

Yes 23 altogether upto 2019 ,this is a total for the years were a 50p of a specific design did not get struck for circulation . The others are the shield for 2009 ,10,11,15,16 & 18 and Britannia for 1983 & 1997 but as i also said these later years people are aware and pay a premium anyway.

Problem with that is there are 23 years that did not have a currency 50p struck and if Westminster dont advertise and hype up a year you could be stuck with them all .The latter years have already reached high prices but most collectors who maybe started collecting from change did not want the proofs.

No sorry they didnt send it me ,it was pasted on facebook .

Westminster coins sent an email out to 50p collectors on Thursday night ,hyping them up rarer than Kew gardens etc 🙁

If anyone has a 1974 proof set ,sell it 😃 The 50p collectors are all buying the 1974 50p Proof for daft money.

He has had if for nearly two years Mike ,it needed someone to see it like the buyer who has mainly focused just on bronze and didnt know about or look for them before looking on Richards site 👍

This sold the other day ,power of the forum and Richards rare penny site ?
