    Its a funny thing Jerry, but if the copies were to be absolutely perfect , we would not now them to be copies at all, and except them as genuine, we would of course all be wondering where all of the new examples were coming from. This would have the effect of lowering the average price of all the coins, genuine and fake.

    Hi Mick. The one you have as F24 looks to me like an F27 4+d The F32 looks like an F33 6+d And the F28 is really bad but I would guess an F36 6+g. Terry

    Rob, do you know if there's a picture anywhere of the Adams Proof ?? Terry
  9. Gouby was sent a picture of one in 2010 , but never actually handled the coin. There is in fact three types but the middle one is so similar to the normal one as to make it extremely difficult to tell them apart. I should add that although slightly rotated the 1 is also closer to the 0 than on the other two.
  10. My best three finds over the past few months. The 1937 is amazing I feel its FDC, and thanks to a tip off from Pete
  11. Yes Mike, but I don't think he knew it was the unlisted 2+B type.

    1874H Penny ID Please 7+I?

    Paddys right Zoo. yours is an Reverse H

    1966 Finger Penny

    This is the wave type
  14. I'm inclined to agree with Ian that its ghosting from a die clash with the toothed edge on the reverse die, as the shape of the marks don't look to be formed from the letters in LC WYON , and anyway LC WYON would have to be present on the reverse die to be transferred over onto the obverse die. So F16 for me
  15. It also looks from your picture to have a narrower rim than the normal Rev. 4 . Its an interesting one , ether of your possible explanations could be true Richard.

    I can say its a definite Obverse 7 as its the older portrait of Victoria and the gap between Victorias head and the out edge of the coin is large, on the 6 its quite close

    Hi Pete, the Ja often has a slightly rotated N in ONE as this example also has, so as the coin is both worn and damaged, and I couldn't be sure, I said it looks like a Ja, ?????

    It looks like a Gouby K+Ja a Variety of the Freeman 7+h
  20. When you consider it , its surprising that a 180 degree inversion on the N hasn't happened more often, as it could so easily be overlooked

    Cameo or not ? Be wary !

    This is how the Americans grade them.

    1954 Florin

    Your right they weren't as scarce as they seemed at the time, probable caused by hording, but now as they all come back out of the closet there's no great shortage
