    • This is a know variety know as the "Aqualung queen " £20 note . Often found while browsing your notes on a park bench by people with little to do
    • Im not sure if I sized the E correctly in this image but by overlaying the E over a T from a different coin this is the result.
    • Once I can I will photograph the coin properly. When I first noticed this I saw what I thought to be a faint outline marked in red shown on my drawing. If that faint line is the missing right arm then it would more or less proportionally correct.  The base of the T in BRITT appears wider though. Could well be a die flaw like as you say. It just looked rather defined. Unfortunately I wont be able to make it to this one, hopefully the next..  
    • You need to get it in the hand and take clearer photos. It isn’t a recognised variety of penny, halfpenny or farthing, and you haven’t made clear the denomination or date. The proportions aren’t quite right for a ‘T’ and the right arm is missing, but it would be a remarkable find and needs to be clarified. It could also be a die flaw or dig to the left of the upper serif of the ‘E’ - as I said, better photos and a close look at the actual coin are required. If cheap enough, it’s the sort of thing I would buy just to be sure one way or another. Are you going to the Midland Coin Fair on Sunday? Jerry
