@Princetane only £85? How do you get such good deals!? All wonderful coins that you've got there.

A big gun this time. Unrecorded Overdate. George IV 1826/1 Penny. Slabbed NGC MS64-BN. I have tried to find the value as Someone else I know has 1 slabbed CGS-78 and is finest known. A little birdie told me the valuation on that coin was £2300.  . Pictures taken through the slab as I lost all the good pictures   |

I live in New Zealand, people here generally have little understanding of coins other than NZ and 19th century Britain and some American.
It helps everyone wants a bargain here and some sellers are clueless.
Plus rather than running my country down, the interest in really old coins is not that high, people are turned on Greek/Roman stuff and precious metal (Gold sovereigns are crazy popular). Most coins sell when they have stuff like "Silver at melt price".
There's not that many serious collectors here and most the ones I know already have that stuff or better examples.
Plus I do scan the markets a bit and operate on the "Don't wait - get it now because it may be gone" premise.
JBuck you really love "Circulation cameos" don't you!
Zookeeperz - Those copper coins are beautiful, stunning cartwheel!

Thanks Prince. Here is a relatively new variety Found by Michael Gouby in 1995. 1883 sixpence Reverse D which was thought to have not been used after 1881 as 1882 has its own unique reverse E. The 1883 standard reverse is F there are a few differences but are difficult to spot but the main marker for this reverse is the I in six imaginary line along the left side lines up with the left leg of N . Reverse F line along right side of I lines up with right leg of N also P and E of Pence are further from the wreath leaves. This is unlisted in any reference books and is a very rare reverse and a new die linkage   |

JBuck you really love "Circulation cameos" don't you! I do. I started appreciating it when I noticed how well it makes an old, worn silver coin look. The coin's lack of details is shadowed by the contrast. |

The mega-rare 1933 penny - a fake of course, but a reasonable attempt compared to many of the cartoon-like versions from the Far East:  |
