1912h penny

[Nordle11 564]

Thanks to Pete I've just upgraded mine, my previous one was from Declan Magee @ £90, which he got from Lockdales - Auction 109 - Lot 1747 - for just under £74 with the juice.

If anyone wants it, I'd be happy with what I paid (£90) and I'll cover the postage from Spain. Picture attached:

Also if it is of any added interest to anyone, the PENNY has strike doubling, but you can only see this under magnification:

Well, as it happens, me please!

Done and dusted, many thanks

Just out of interest, can you tell me what causes the strike doubling?

[Nordle11 564]

Strike doubling/mechanical doubling is where the doubling happens during the striking process, like when the coin shifts slightly during a strike or the vibrations cause the die to jolt out of position.

It's different to doubled die strikes/hub doubling which is where the doubling has occurred during the die making process, in case you're wondering.

Cheers. I might have been wondering if I knew that was a thing.

It's very much an American phenomenon, error collecting, but that just means that UK errors are all that much cheaper, so I'm not complaining too much
