Dear friends:

The following pages were update:

about me — The title was changed to about us. A group of enthusiastic friends numismatists and collectors of the 1½ pence & British coins in general decided to join forces to help with the improvement of this site.

I will be the Webmaster post, instead of Administrator and there will be Coordinators within U.K. by region. For more details about the team visit that section. LINK

coin design's anatomy — In the description of the oak wreath on reverse, I use the word berry instead of acorn, an error that will be amended in each section slowly. I apologize for the confusion caused.

1843 a — The seventh Obverse G, replaced C within variety JC-12 and has been posted with its description modified accordingly. LINK

1843 annex — New section dedicated to additional data for coins dated 1843.

Dear friends:

1843 — New variety JC-44 posted. Discovered by Mr. Robert Clinch of Surrey, South East of England, U.K. Is composed of Obverse C and Reverse 35. LINK

coin population — Due to the recent appearance of a significant quantity of coins in the market dated 1862, I lower its rarity from 4 to 3 within grades below aUNC. LINK

coin grading services — Due to very low traffic and/or disinterest on the part of visitors this page was removed.

Dear friends:

The following pages were update:

1839 — Thanks to the photograph of a gem specimen of the variety JC -16, I could determine that the obverse of this pair of dies is actually different from those already known, so I posted it as Obverse G, for a total of 7 obverses of this year. Photos and descriptions were updated and I apologize for the confusion this may have caused. LINK

1843 — Correct info & photos posted for new variety JC-43. Is composed of Obverse C and new Reverse 34. LINK

Dear friends:

The following pages were update:

coin mintage — new info/photos was posted. LINK

Photos of the current Royal Mint building in Llantrisant, were provided through an agreement executed on my behalf by the The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, for a period of five years. I am publishing the essential part of the document so that my friends and visitors in general, can read it. It is a sign of good will of non-profit mutual agreement of cultural collaboration for the benefit of the numismatic community. Thanks RCAHMW!
