    Nice one Gary, I must confess I didn't think it would get a 63 .
  2. Its nice to see new collectors , Good luck with your future finds.
  3. Nice one Richard , if you keep this up you'll have to sell the entire collection to buy the next coin up the price ladder.
  4. No Mike, too much for me just at the moment, but you never know just like an 11 bus another may come along quite soon.

    My F164a was on here posted some years back, it was better than my F164 until this latest find.

    Reverse F164
  10. I believe a high percentage of pre. 1946 [ half silver ] and pre. 1920 [ full silver ] was withdrawn much earlier, but whether it was replaced in large quantities by the cupro-nickel before the final withdrawal I don't know.

    The only battle ship one I can think of on a penny was the mono faced Edward viii Reverse .

    I don't know if its of any interest, but i came across this pattern 1894 penny the other day , and wondered just how iv'e managed to miss it in all my years of collecting , it is after all listed in Freemans on page 233 Plate xiv Pic. B terrible picture though. It looks to be the same reverse as the 2mm 1895 but has an unusual looking boat on the right. http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Great_Britain_1894_penny_KM-790

    R over A , really, not for me and I think most people will shy away from it as well . We'll all have to wait and see if another clearer example turns up. As to the PFNNY this die fill type often turns up on Victorian pennies . Below is a 1890 .

    O don't we all want to find the rare ones, but to put it into perspective , if you add all of the reverse F types the F19 F24 F27 F32 the sum total of 48 coins are at present known, so the rev.F is always Rare , but keep looking there must be more still to be found out there.

    I'm not so sure. Though the First 1in the date looks to be to the tooth, other pointers look incorrect . The rim on the 169 is more raised up with the teeth usually intact even on a worn coin, also the space between the 1 and 9 is narrower, and the sea on the right hand side runs onto a tooth where as on the 168 its to the gap between the teeth. sorry.

    1860 F13 without Ship Flag

    What a good question, I hadn't thought to look . It has about a 15deg rotation anticlockwise , that would account for the position of the stick on the left and her face on the right being so far off the normally position of die clash marks.

    I hadn't noticed before but Interestingly the ghostly outline of Victoria's face can be seen on the right side of the coin.
