1901 penny

[Master Jmd 80]

i have been looking at this, it looks quite nice for £15.00, what do you think about me getting it, its just that something looks strange about it...?

[Half Penny Jon 0]

It does look like it's BU almost full lustre (no thanks to the awful picture) I'm not sure about those wierd toning patches.

[Emperor Oli 0]

Seems kosher to me - it's probably cos it looks silver in that picture.

What looks strange about it? It looks kind of silver to me...

[Master Jmd 80]

i've just bought it, i hope it was the right decision...i had no 1901 pennies in fine + condition...

[Half Penny Jon 0]

I think its just the light reflection William. It's about market value for Ebay. If you want it you should buy it.

[Emperor Oli 0]

Why didn't you bid?

[Master Jmd 80]

Why didn't you bid?

because it was with a starting price of £9.00, and i really liked it. i basicly didnt want someone to buy it over my bid...

Well done Master JMD looks like a good buy.

He said it's near the bottom but I can't see it - a direct link would be nice!

1910 Halfpenny

looks like a nice coin, i would say go for it, it does have 7 days left, so it may exceed £30, but i would get it if i collected half pennies...but it does look as if some of the hair is worn...

Hmm I wouldn't trust a man who calls it Edward VIII!

I don't mind that. When I buy halfpennys that I need, I compare them to Dr. Nicholson's examples because I want to get better examples than him.

you have every oppertunity to get better then him...what age did he start collecting?

[Half Penny Jon 0]

He started collecting over 30 years ago. It may be hard to get better examples than him in some cases but is is by no means impossible. I have suceeded so far with my coins below:

1. 1901 BU

2. 1903 BU

3. 1909 BU

4. 1931 BU

5. 1932 BU

[Master Jmd 80]

are they your top 5 bu halfpennies?

my top 5 bu pennies are:

1.1927 BU

2.1970 proof BU

3.1962 (i love the toning on it) BU

4.1937 BU

5.1938 BU

...but the 1901 penny that i bought will probably go to no.1

Very nice selection there. Are you into bronze pennies?

[Master Jmd 80]

Very nice selection there. Are you into bronze pennies?

copper and bronze (1797 - 1970)

copper and bronze (1797 - 1970)

Why start at 1797?

[Geoff T 3]

1797 is the year the large "cartwheel" copper pennies and twopences were introduced, so it's regarded as a watershed in the history of the penny.

[Master Jmd 80]

Why start at 1797?

because i do not like the silver pennies as much as copper/bronze...after/if i manage to get all of the availible pennies between 1797 - 1967 in EF - BU condition then i will probably start half pennies...
