1839 proof penny

 

I noticed this was missing from the catalog - I don't have this coin, but was wondering why it wasn't included in this entry

 

Spink lists it under # 3948

Excellent question. I will wait for a few more others to reply. But as far as I can see it should be included as you mention.

Your numista page link is for Great Britain KM 739 and not for KM 739a

 

 

Different metal composition. ¼ farthing and ½ farthing proof are missing too.

do bronzed proofs get a separate entry here? I noticed that the Cartwheel penny has bronzed and gilt proofs listed alongside the copper issues

If it is a different metal composition it requires a new page as per rules.
