I prefer the term "fantasy" for this sort of thing for exactly that reason.

I did wonder if that might be the case. Strange how they worried about it getting into circulation - I don't think it would have been particularly easy to spend.

Blimey - any idea what happened to it?

I think you should buy a lottery ticket. It looks like one to me. -
I've always found DNW pictures to be pretty good.

Only the 1927 was proof, from the sets. There are currency issues of the others. I've got a 1929 in about VF.

Nope. Nowt subtle about it at all.

Now there's pretty. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GB-VICTORIA-COPPER-PENNY-1854-NICE-GRADE-861-22/401431860975?hash=item5d773416ef:g:Ke4AAOSw9fNZh1yE

Sniping is possible but more difficult. Firstly, there's no accurate countdown. Secondly, if the current bid is at £20 and you snipe at £40 and win, you win at £40. On ebay you'd win at £20 + 1 bid increment.

Bramah 11a. Die fill or different die?

Err, yes, of course. -
Bramah 11a. Die fill or different die?
mrbadexample posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Evening all. Bramah 11a is a cartwheel 2d with no stop after REX. I've only ever seen a couple of these. I have this one, low grade and a bit lumpy but beggars can't be choosers. I'd like to know if this variety is due to die fill or a different die. Anyone know please? Cheers, MBE -

Noted. I guess we'd see more examples if it was a different die. There is absolutely no trace of the stop, but more die fill is evident in the following pictures: -
I've asked the seller if it's the one I will receive but he hasn't got back to me yet. Can't imagine why.

Have you hacked my webcam?

Me, or the penny?

This one:

I use it, as you know Pete. I've had a couple of decent buys but there's a lot of rubbish too. There is more risk involved than with ebay, but think as long as you use PayPal Goods and Services then you should be reasonably well protected.
-
At least it's accurately described. I fail to see how a penny with no original surface metal remaining has lustre.

Well that's a fairly hefty start to your posts Gaz, what are you going to follow that with?

Does anyone have an interest in Religious tokens and medals?
mrbadexample replied to Unwilling Numismatist's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
bagerap is probably (but not necessarily because I have no idea of the extent of our other forum users' knowledge) your best bet. -
Sorry for any confusion Mike - that's the ex-Nordle collection one that Pete's offering for sale. He asked me to stick the picture up and I was too lazy to type as well. You're right though - it is a very nice strike.
