How's your garden looking after fine weather and time?
terrysoldpennies replied to blakeyboy's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
The blossoms on my trees this year are amazing , we live on the top of a hill and its not unusual for all the blossoms to blow off, but the last few days have been kind to them and the result is a profusion of colour. Picture of my cherry tree below.- 150 replies

terrysoldpennies replied to Sword's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It must effect it , in my area all the Post offices have closed so no more buying and selling for the foreseeable future ?? -

Did any of you manage to see the Transit of Venus across the Sun on the 8th June 04 . I was on Holiday at the time in Derbyshire and I was lucky enough to get a very short gap in the clouds . I managed to take this picture through the glass of my welding helmet . -
It wasn't easy , and I suppose that's why the bidding stayed low.

Hi Blake , that's the one I bought and posted on here the other day. its an F28 obverse 5 with reverse G its very rare and on Richards Rare list. Its the only year that obverse 5 is to be found with reverse G.

terrysoldpennies replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It does show that it was paired with at leased two different obverse dies, and possible more. have you any idea how scarce or rare they are Richard ? . -

i've just noticed that yours is paired with a different Obverse as it has a Narrow Date , my example has a wide date. -
Last week I picked up a decent 1915 Recessed ear penny [ show on the next post] . That got me thinking about the life of this die, from its start to its destruction, and so I hunted around and managed to find an 1916 example with a die crack running right across the coin from the A in GRA to the D in DEF on the other side of the coin. The crack is so bad that it must have meant the end of the die, and the production of this type. Pic. On the left starting at the top is an early 1915 strike without the crack , but note the tooth in question seems smaller than the others ?. Next down is also a 1915 and appears to have a small curved bite out of the bottom of the tooth . Third down is a 1916, it has now developed, and a large section is missing from the tooth. Finally the bottom insert also 1916 shows the final extent of the tooth loss, as this is the example with the die crack, also shown in full on the right side.
