As Tom says experience is what counts, you need to look at lots of known genuine examples, and compare them side by side , In this case the 1882 without the little H below the date, is extremely rare . There are a thousand and one differences in this case , but maybe in the future it may become a lot harder to tell the difference. ??? Genuine coin on the left .

I watch the program Paddy, and as it happens have just returned from a Holiday last week in Wales, and while there made a visited to the Royal Mint. One of the coins on show in the museum was the 1933 penny, and one thing that was very noticeable on the penny was a small round mark to the left of Britanniar's head which was also evident on the 33 shown on the TV. I would think it has to be genuine , though they could of course make one any time they wanted, and it would be genuine , But not from 1933 !!!!! Terry

I have lived in Essex most of my life , growing up in Walthamstow [part of London since the 1960s] but now living in Northwest Essex. Its strange but we have some of the prettiest villages you could find anywhere, and yet we still have a bad reputation given to us by people who have probably never even set foot in the county. My old house, and I say old it was built in 1380 was in a village with dozen's of beautiful old cottages, I have lovely neighbours, and we have low crime rates. For the last Thirty four years I have lived a new one, built about 1777 . One good thing about that reputation, is that we have the place to our selves, and don't have to put up with hoards of tourists tramping all over the place. Terry -
why in obverse 6 does the flaw in the last colon FD: persist from 1861 to 1874
terrysoldpennies replied to DrLarry's topic in Free for all
Its likely that there were more than one master die, and batches of working dies were made and stored, only then to coming back out of the cupboard, as and when required in a hap-hazard order over a long period . -

terrysoldpennies replied to DrLarry's topic in Free for all
I just found that the die flaw which can be found on many obverse 6 s is also present on the VIGTORIA penny, so I reason that it must have been present on the master die, and also must then have been passed on to the working die that subsequently found itself having a G re-stamped over a filled or possible damaged C. -

Its a funny thin but I have bought two, and seen two other 1860 4+d pennies with the Gouby variation Type T. I.e the wide/narrow/ rotated colons after F:D:, all coming from Australia. Its thought that they all originated from the missing colon type . Well I wonder if a batch of colon less 4+d dies were sent to Australia and there having the colons re-entered onto the dies, hence me now seeing so many reappearing back from Aussi. It could also be that this was an error batch of pennies that were sent to Aussi. to cover up the Mints Error ??? -

Gouby suggests that the working dies when damaged sometimes had letters/ numbers filled, and then recut or re-stamped , this would account for the doubling/tripling of letters, also rotating and re-entering of out of positing colons, and if part of the fill subsequently gave way and fell out ,would account for some of digits on the dates being over stamped in a different position, as the punch used was probably placed in a position away from the original cut so as to not weaken the repair. -

terrysoldpennies replied to DrLarry's topic in Free for all
Hi Larry , Though I don't know for sure, the most logical explanation is that a master die number 6 was first made, and the working dies were made from this , now it seem likely the die flaw was on that master so would then have appear on all subsequent dies, and that these working dies would have sometimes been themselves retooled giving further modifications now to be seen on coins from 1861 to 74. -

Hi Zoo, There are two sub types of F17 6+D and the 6+D* this may be another slight variation. Below D* has a curved rock up under the shield . D has just sea. See Richards Site Site. https://englishpennies.wordpress.com/victoria-bronze/

The quality control on modern coins is absolutely appalling , its seems to be the same with all circulation coins , but you would think they could make an effort on a celebration issue. When you consider the detail and astounding quality of the coinage a hundred years ago in Edwardian times such as this 1903 penny , just a circulation issue, but so fine that it could be a proof. The flecks are just remaining lustre .

Its just an 1882 penny that's been hand engraved, but I must say quite professionally done.

more FAKES
terrysoldpennies replied to numismatist's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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. -

terrysoldpennies replied to mick1271's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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 -

terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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. -
