Haha yes, you should pander him to do it  

From what I can tell, it's just to do with how Richard has put the pictures into the site, some are clickable (which opens them up on their own page or in a new page) and some are just not.

The reason some are asking you to log in is because while the pictures are posted in the headsntails site, they are being hosted on his personal site (where the picture actually lives), which is private, and doesn't allow you to view the image until you log in and have been approved by him. Basically the link in the picture is taking you to his private site which won't show.

Hope that makes sense.

Do you think Its set up that way deliberately,should I ask him, or could you explain it to him better than me   Terry

Not deliberately to block the pictures, but because he already had the pictures on his first site it is 10x easier to just copy them over instead of making new pictures.

It might be quite a big job for him to do that, it would be easier for you just to have access to the other site, which I'm sure he won't mind, but it does mean you need an account at wordpress. It's not all that easy to get one though because you need to make a site first, but to sign up is free. Happy to create an account for you if that's easier, so you can just use the log in. I'll send you a personal message if so because you'll need a password and these messages are viewable by everyone.

Sorry about that . Gary .   nice to speak to you anyway  Terry

Terry, I did see your post and have looked at many of these pennies myself. As I say on my varieties website, I'm confused by them. All the pennies with either close or small colons (or both) show the incuse lines engraved on the bun (and the almost disappearance of the teeth into the rim) which suggests they are late stages of modification of the 4 die. The suggestion is that the colons have been re-entered onto a die with missing colons (which also has the lines on the bun) but there are many different "re-entered" colon types which suggests that there must have been many missing colon dies which have had the colons added back, in varying positions. But the missing colon variety (BP1860T) is very scarce and almost certainly (?) from a single die (although I have yet to compare all the known specimens to confirm that). There are other anomalies (see website again) which to me suggests that Michael Gouby's analysis of the nature and sequence of modification may not be absolutely correct. I still want to find time to do much more work on this and will keep you abreast of my thoughts/findings.

Sorry Terry, I think that the anomalies of obverse G are discussed on my collection website (englishpennies.wordpress.com) - do you have access to this ?

I just tried pumping in englishpennies.wordpress.com  in to google, it wanted a password , I'm not great with computers , not far off 70 you see. am I doing it wrong .    Terry
