Which would you choose ?.
terrysoldpennies replied to PWA 1967's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That's a tuff one , I would think it must depend on the individual coin, and just how much the degree of wear damage or corrosion affects the overall appeal of the coin. And as to whether the type indicators can be seen clearly. Terry -

Jerry , its as you say about the 1915 clogged 5. I bought one four years back for £15, and at the time I thought, have I paid to much , but I haven't seen another for sale since Terry -

1897 penny double dot serifs
terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I must confess , I don't know why they should be round or sometimes oval, but they seem to form mostly along the cracks that are in the legend, as can be seen on Richards coin, where a smaller dot on the left of the O must later enlarge to link into the side of the O. I don't know the exact way they are made , but maybe the bronze is soft and creates a bubble of metal in the form of a blob Terry -
1897 penny double dot serifs

Ian .The die would a Mirror image of the face of the coin ,so a dot standing up off the coin would on the die be a hole, so to remove, it the hole would have to be filled. My guess is that tiny edge parts along the side of the die crack, broke away leaving a small hole, or in this case two holes. -

I think they are the result of a tiny die crack Terry -

1966 missing waves
terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Mr T. Difficult to explain, so hence the diagram , Looking at normal bright uncirculated pennies of the 60s there is no sign of scratches at all , but on this one the minute scratches run down the right side of the coin , and some also run in a slightly different direction across the exergue. no scratches can be seen on the raised parts , like the lighthouse shield or waves, so it looks as though a engineer has used something like an abrasive paper just on the top left side of the die, I shall try to get a close up some time Terry Ps I am try to add the drawing , bare with me -
Hi Richard. I wondered if I might ask you a few things. The 2* 145, have you heard of any more being found other than the four I already know of.
2 You list your 1967 missing waves as R8, how many of this type do you know of .
3 I have a 1953 penny with the standard B+b [1+B pairing, but I think it might be a matt finish, as it has a strange kind of sheen, most unlike the normal production coin. I don't have another toned matt finish to judge it by, except a 1986 matt and polished 2p proof that's in a bright condition. Have you heard of the possible existence of this type. I think i might get it checked out at the mint in the summer while on holiday. Would you know who to contact about taking the coin along in person, as I don't trust the post with it Terry

1966 missing waves
terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Mr T . I was wondering about how it was caused . when you look extremely close with a magnifying glass, you can see the minute lines from the grinding of the flat surfaces running right through from the open flat area, into the bare area where the waves should [ I must get myself a close up camera] . I thought that if this was caused by grease or dirt , the complete individual wavy would disappear , and not leave just the points of what on the normal coin are much larger waves, so I would think it must be the result of the top of that part of the die being ground down lower , and so loosing definition Terry -

The 7 in the date, like the HT penny also lays over to the right , and is half a tooth narrower Terry -
Sorry , but it looks to me like the 9 is the result of a die crack across the 9 into the exergue . you can see the blob of metal running down from above Terry

This penny was my mothers when she was collecting during the 1960s. She was a lawyer and had working connections with the banks , though I do not know where she obtained it ,but she must have obtained it around the time it was made . It shows no signs of any kind of coating , and even if my penny is a fake , the penny sold by London coins I assume was checked , if not £3500 ponds was a lot to pay for a dud Terry

I have an Uncirculated 1967 Proof or Speciman coin which was said to not exist . I mentioned it to MG, and he thought it might be worth perhaps £200. Then an EF-UNC was sold on L.Coins in December 14 for £3500. Proofs don't photo well , its the toned one Terry
