1875 12+h# halfpenny

Recommended Posts

I was having a look over Ian Dracott's halfpenny articles again recently and I saw in part III that he listed a 12+H# halfpenny for 1875. I suspect this is an error as there is no H# reverse listed in his previous articles.

Does anyone know what it should be for sure? I suspect it should be J# but have nothing other than gut feeling to back that up.

I had made that correction to J# in my collection and notes after checking with him....... and confirming that H was only used in 1862...

Glad to help....

An error that is simple to make, inasmuch as the H & J key are adjacent to each other on the keyboard.....

Spell checkers are good to a degree, but you still can't beat old fashioned proof reading for the finer details... And a knowledge of the subject at hand.....
