I have quite a few lower grade but scarce British coins.  1869 penny. This coin has a recorded mintage of 2,580,480 but is extremely scarce and is catalogued at £150 in Fine. This was another of my lucky purchases - 3p from a dealer's junk tray back in the 1980s!  1905 halfcrown. Mintage 166,008. Picked up for £140 with a whole lot of other silver coins from my LCS in 1981.  1847 Gothic Crown. Mintage 8,000. Bought about 15 years ago from a major dealer in Northern England. Probably scarcer in this condition than in Uncirculated...

Not in the greatest condition granted but extremely rare in any condition 1846 Half Crown with the 8 struck over a 6. It is a known variety but unlisted by ESC and Davies

New discovery of mine Unlisted Missing waves 1918 Penny. There are a few dates that have been recorded 1934,1937 proof,1966,1967. It has been a bit of a mission of mine since I knew of their existence hundreds of searches prob thousands now and from all I have located The 1934,1937 from the known ones of which still only a handful are known.But I have added to the list 1918,1920 and 1931. you'll notice on the 1918 the smallest wave next to the shield is almost completely missing. this feature also appears on the 1920.

Here is the 1931 Missing waves not as dramatic as the 1934 where nearly everything is missing left of the shield. But still a nice new variety

Yes very nice guys and the Gothic Crown a real treat.   My Charles the First halfcrown, Tower mint 1635/36 Crown and it only cost me $165 (£85) last year.   Not the best condition, but 1829 is a pretty scarce date   Again not rare, but rarely seen in this condition (AU/BU) yet dozens exist of this date in VG - VF condition.
