    Here is an image of the coin. About level with the one sold in the Copthorne Penny auction. Photos through a flip so appologies for the quality.

    Here is the full reverse

    I have been looking for a 1967 penny with missing waves below Lighthouse for a while. I have found one, not as dramatic as Richards on his website but the first I have found.

    George VI Pennies Wanted

    bhx7 replied to The Coinery's topic in Wanted

    Looked at the 1949 in my own collection and found mine was a "Forked S". Have to say it is one I had missed in David's book. Haven't check my 1950's yet.

    Right half way through my fine to AUnc 1958 halfpennies and have found at least 5 different teeth to border variations. I used percentage size of tooth to border ratio and found the following from the first 12 coins : 70% x 1; 75% x 5; 85% x 3; 94% x 1 and 102% x 2 (give or take 1%). I believe the 94% teeth to rim coin to be a Type G and the 102% with teeth larger than rim Type F. I maybe well off but would appreciate any input. There is definitely lots of variation.

    Yes it is what people refer to as a blocked 2, partially blocked anyway. Nice catch.
  7. bhx7
    Terry am totally starting from scratch. I can identify the E variety easily with the long teeth a major give away. However, still trying to get the F and G sorted out. If I am right so far I am finding the E the least common and think the G the most common but not 100% sure if I am getting the F & G right each time. I am going to persevere and see what I find. I will post pics and conclusions once I am happy I have things right.

    Thanks Terry, seems to be lots of differences, all of which are very small. Makes it very hard to discern the different varieties after reading your comments it makes just that little more complex. I definitely have found more than 2 size of teeth on the wide rim version. Will revisit the coins and try and keep a more uniform image set and see what I find. Thanks Brian

    A Slightly more standard coin. The teeth are smaller again in relationship to the rim
  10. bhx7
    The rims showing the teeth.
  11. bhx7
    Here are a couple. I can't seem to find the ones with the thinner rims that I put to the side. I think they would be variant F. These I think could be E & G. Will put close ups of the rim on next post.
  12. bhx7
    Thanks Dave. Will give it another go. May take some pics and post them when I think I have cracked it. Is it rev G that is the hardest to find? Thanks Brian

    ETAP Proof Silver medal

    bhx7 posted a topic in Free for all

    Just wondering if anyone has come across one of these before. It was produced to celebrate the Eastern Trough Area Project in the North Sea. I bought it today for less than its silver value just intrigued. It has finger prints on unfortunately but still in nice condition. Any thoughts Regards Brian

    ETAP Proof Silver medal

    bhx7 replied to bhx7's topic in Free for all

    Hi Ian, I managed to get a bit off with acetone but think someone has already tried with something a little less gentle. There are a few slight scratches to the top of the reverse. You can't see them all the time but they do show in the picture above. I paid £9 so haven't lost anything. Brian

    ETAP Proof Silver medal

    bhx7 replied to bhx7's topic in Free for all

    Think as a piece of social industrial history it is worth more to me than bullion value. It was obviously given to the people involved in the sinking of the pipes and erecting the rigs. I do see what you mean about the Pobjoy Mint, but these were obviously made to order for ETAP, not sold as a novelty or gimmick.
  17. bhx7
    I know you have been looking for one for a while. Looking forward to seeing the pics.
  18. bhx7
    A photo of my acquisition with my photo and the Auction photo. Think I still have lots to learn with capturing all the detail. There is loads of lustre, my image is a bit more mat but closer to the real colour.

    Recieved my coin this morning. Very Happy. A little more than i wanted to pay but its a good coin and already in a Quadrum so slipped straight into the collection

    Lots of things to think about. Will keep looking into it before I commit fully. Want to do a good job if I do decide to make my own.

    Hi Guys A few weeks ago I got some nice Victorian farthings, along with some worn examples. I am collecting farthings but mainly from 1895 to 1970, which is my main area of collecting. This is one of the latter worn coins. My curiosity is if the missing serifs is normal on these coins. The coin itself looks like it has been run over by a truck or scrapped across the floor with a hobnail boot but still interesting. Any information or help would be appreciated. Thanks
  23. bhx7
    Thanks for the reply Mr Bad Ex.... It was the extremes of the missing parts I find interesting. Even close up on my example there is no sign of the serifs being there!! Possibly could be the same die as yours on its last legs!!
  24. bhx7
    Had a little more on it but was pleased to get it at that. Just stuck to the 1 after I was outbid on the other's.
  25. bhx7
    Well I won one of the lots I bid on. I left the other 2 as I wanted to concentrate on the one I really wanted. So lot 179 the 1932 penny is mine. Looking forward to getting it. Nice to be able to say I have one coin from this outstanding collection.
