1861 F32 - 1901 Gouby Aa Last 1 to gap - 1937 unlsted 2+B proof
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. -

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 -

Yes Mike, but I don't think he knew it was the unlisted 2+B type. -

Penny Acquisition of the week
terrysoldpennies replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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 -

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. -
Its a real Chinese penny

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, ????? -

New 1861 penny variety? F33 N over inverted N in ONE
terrysoldpennies replied to jelida's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
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 -

This is how the Americans grade them. -
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

terrysoldpennies replied to Unwilling Numismatist's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It looks like a 1+d , can it be, or is it a case of the wrong obverse picture placed with the reverse. Tony Clayton stated that one example has been found. Did you buy it Ian ???? -

No this is half the missing coin type. -
OOps that's my bugger up. anyway we collect the refined Milled, not that primitive Hammered stuff.

That's with unworn coins, I have a couple that are worn, and its very obvious as the ear is totally untouched with the rest of the head badly worn.

Yes your right Pete, but the same principal applies , It seems unlikely that a test die would be given a broken tooth for recognition, as at around this time increasing or decreasing the number of teeth was used, as with the 1908 164a and the 1911 hollow neck .
-
Bearing in mind that what we refer to as a broken tooth, is the result of a partial blockage of one of the tiny indentations around the edge of the die that form the teeth. its not unlikely that the hole started to block during 1915 then gradually built up, but during this period a small piece of the blockage may have broken away again, only to them build up again giving the variation in the size of the tooth, this may explain the out of sequence 1915 coin of Zoos
