    The seller tells me that he has been notified of its rarity and withdrawn it for further investigation. Maybe it will reappear in a different guise? At least it doesn’t appear that he has been ripped off. Jerry

    Sadly the coin has just been pulled, and my bid cancelled. ☹️

    Don’t worry, you are forgiven! These things happen, and we move on. Jerry

    The number of watchers has jumped from 2 to 8 since Martin’s post, presumably mostly forum members! Jerry

    This is a really unhelpful post during an active auction when I and possibly other forum members are already bidding and watching. By tradition we do not post in a way that can affect others interests in ongoing auctions and I am most disappointed. We normally save comment until the auction is completed, and due time given for the lot to have been posted, other than in the ‘worst offerings’ scenario. Jerry

    Now that is really tempting...count me in, subject to date and ‘her indoors’.... Jerry

    The penny seems much more handled , centrally tarnished, than the others; I suspect it is an interloper to this set. Jerry

    Unlikely; I can’t see it, and also don’t think they would have had need for a ‘U’ punch in the first place if preparing or repairing the die. Jerry

    Well, the slab is interesting; seems they are a new slabbing company, in the early stages of development. https://www.facebook.com/UKCG-Coin-Grading-Service-106479238102082/ To me the coin is probably genuine, but not a ‘touch piece’ of course. Jerry

    Yes, it’s awful! This is what it should look like. https://www.christophereimer.co.uk/medals/Oliver+Cromwell,+Battle+of+Dunbar-1 Jerry

    I too bought a couple of lots, and found a nice selection of oddities; I am sure Hiram must have been aware of these. Remarkable that one bulk lot had not just one but two D* obverse 1860 pennies, and they do seem to remain rare. I did show a selection here. http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/12193-penny-acquisition-of-the-week/?page=52 I agree that proper cataloguing could have made a substantial difference financially, though I’m not complaining.

    The fraudster who made this ‘sixpence’ caught that ‘morning after’ feeling perfectly! Ah, I remember it well.....oh no, I’ve forgotten! Bring back our pubs! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coin-sixpence-uk-1829/284164234670?hash=item4229821dae:g:atEAAOSwu9NgEteg Jerry

    Aww look, this little penny’s blushing in embarrassment at the bollox written by its vendor. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-Of-The-Rarest-1971-Pennies-in-the-World-1p-New-Penny/353369299252?hash=item5246739934:g:qucAAOSwKepf0mS8 Jerry

    It’s the standard beaded penny obverse, Freeman 1, Gouby C as used with Freeman 1, 6 and 7 pennies. Jerry

    I really don’t know why they even bother....... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITISH-RARE-OLD-METAL-DETECTOR-FIND-SHILLING-OR-LARGE-PENNY-SIZE-UK-2-COIN/124547364181?hash=item1cff99f555:g:TIAAAOSwqKZgEapN Jerry

    Sorry, looks like I have two copies of part four...so if anybody needs one....which is what you wanted, badgerap? Jerry
  17. jelida
    I’ve just checked, yes, I’ve got the five parts, what do you want to know? Jerry
  18. jelida
    Give us some background, Craigy! There are a lot of fakes around, often this black colour. If an EBay purchase from Poland, definitely suss. If found in a field with a detector, worth a closer look. Any provenance? Can you weigh it, a rough guide only as nibbled, and any chance of a better focussed pic? Jerry
  19. jelida
    Splendid! I have a several old tellies that I rebuilt a few years ago, Bush TV22 and TV62 from either end of the fifties, and an early ‘50’s small Pye set. I also have a couple of ‘60’s sets as future projects. And a 1940’s HMV that needs a new 10” tube- anybody got an Emiscope TA10 spare? I have an Aurora standards converter, used to watch old Tom and Jerry cartoons in B&W, it’s the only way! Jerry
  20. jelida
    Yes, I saw that, does look right, well done. Jerry
  21. jelida
    I only really started looking at them with lockdown, so early days. Between us we should ramp up the prices! Jerry
  22. jelida
    It may be rare in top condition, though I doubt it would reach your criteria overall. Here are my two, though the second might already feature in your records having once been sold by LCA I think. Jerry

  24. jelida
    Eeek! I think that one is beyond me! But that is a shame. Large date I presume? Thankfully I do have a reasonable example, that came from a forum member. Jerry
  25. jelida
    No, that was not noted. It is still a variety that can creep under the radar, though it looks like a number of us had spotted it. Jerry
