Fantastic! Thank you PWA 1967.

Your second coin is real, just dirty. The micro lettering is very clear on your close-up. It wouldn't be like that on a counterfeit.

Die chatter and double struck are two different things. If a coin is double struck, it has entered the coining chamber a second time or failed to be ejected after the first strike. It would then get struck a second time. Sometimes the second strike is off centre and sometimes it's centred but every time it effects both sides of the coin. Die chatter is now referred to as Machine Doubling Damage in the US error market. Alan Herbert, a giant in US error circles, wrote, "The evidence is very clear that MDD occurs after the strike. The coin design is complete, meaning the die pair has done its job. The bouncing/chattering die moves metal that has already been formed. Struck metal has a different appearance than the metal shoved or moved by the bouncing die. Because of this difference it is possible to trace anything that occurs during the minting process. Anything that happens after the strike cannot be traced as to time or place." MDD is characterised as flat, shelf-like doubling. It is almost always on only one side of the coin and it is almost always the hammer die.

Thank you Mr Bad Example but I've made a decision to exclude tokens.

Thank you very much. It's now posted here - https://www.britisherrorcoins.co.uk/major-die-breaks/pre-decimal/penny How should I credit you?

Thank you, please email me at jrenaud001 at gmail dot com

Thank you Blakeyboy. This is now listed as 1P-1945-1Ra. How would you like me to credit you on the site?

Yes please. Also, do you have a larger picture of this one? Could you tell me the Freeman number of them? And, finally, how would you like me to credit you on the website?

That's great! I love the horizontal shift by the date. You can really see it by how the beads don't line up. Can you please send me a pic of the obverse and a larger picture of the reverse? Thanks! Jason

Now listed as 1P-1861-1a. This would be very exciting if it was proved to be paired with a second reverse! How would you like me to credit you?

What name would you like me to credit you as?

That's an amazing cracked planchet! It is probably just barely held together. It reminds me of the "Broken CC" Morgan dollar - https://minterrornews.com/features-2-4-03-allen_rowe-broken_cc.html It doesn't fit on my site (yet) but it certainly would fit in my collection! Great coin.

Nothing special??? It's a gorgeous example of a retained cud. This is from londoncoins.co.uk, isn't it? I recognise the wear on Queen Victoria's hair and ear. It will be listed as 4p-1840-1Ra. Thank you!

Thanks for this Bronze & Copper Collector. It's now listed as 1/2p-1862-1a. Based on the file name, can I assume that it's F-289? I like to cross reference if I can. Also, can I use your real name on the site?

What a great set! Would you be able to send me a high res picture of your best one please?
