First farthings and now pennies

[Coppers 58]

I can't believe that no one has made mention of this yet (news of it was posted on the PCGS forum some time ago), but Neil Paisley of Colin Cooke will be featuring a fine collection of pennies for sale. My understanding is that the bidding procedure will be similar to that used in the sale of Colin Cooke's farthing collection. Here's the brief announcement on the Colin Cooke website:

COMING SOON: The Alderly Collection of Pennies - The finest known collection of Pennies to come on the market

[Guest E. Dawson]

Yes, this may be a great collection and hope that Neil does a fine catalogue for it!

Have you by any chance seen it, Rob?

I've seen some things. Enough to know my wallet is going to be emptied again - hopefully.

It's a SUPERB COLLECTION, with some GREAT RARITIES..... Including a 1933

I am sure jealous of you two and perhaps having seen the coins yourselves. How would these rate to the Colin Adams bits?

I never saw the collection, but am aware of the quality of the coins that he sought........

PS: The quality of the Colin Adams collection was excellent ( I have his F-21), and this is excellent too.... I'm not sure how extensive it is, although I know it covers quite a bit.....

Hopefully we'll all soon get to see these coins. Didn't the Colin Adams sale also have a 1933 Lavrillier pattern penny, which was featured on the cover of the catalogue?

Yes.... Could be the same one... I don't know for sure.....
