    Reads ANGLIE on the obverse. Lettering of the C & S in civitas, and the B in ‘Eboraci,’ plus the A in ‘Edward,’ and reverse-barred N in Anglie, just don’t do it for me!

    What year is it, 187?. I imagine it's been plated by someone, possibly the same person that put a hole in it. The pics aren't that clear though. There were cu-ni proofs for some 1860/70s dates, so that's a possibility and perhaps the hole was made by someone who thought it was odd and wanted to see if it was like that all the way through. Need better pics and accurate weight to provide further clues.

    Bronze is not a metal?
  7. Citizen H
    Ah.. as yet no scales... the size is that of a penny... the coin was identified by a authority of Hammered coins that I approached, i don't have any others to compare with..... so I'm happy with its identification, unless any other suggestions come along 👍

    To be honest I can’t reconcile that portrait, hair, or crown at all? I don’t suppose it would do any good to ask for a weight? The obverse looks really halfpennyesque, but I don’t think there were quatrefoil reverses on the halfpennies were there?

    Found this in a box of coins, looks metal not bronze?? Could it be an error coin and rare for this coin… guidance appreciated, collector newbie’ish…

    Many thanks for confirming Martin, I'll have to keep a look out for a large 3 (thanks for the picture Pete)
  19. Martinminerva
    Yep - both types of 3 exist overdated, and yes, Bee's is a small 3 and Pete's is a large 3. Think they are about the same rarity.

    I'll throw one in a shoe box with my 1933 and 1954 pennies

    I found online two different 1920 pennies which suffer some major loss of detail in Britannia's face, breast, forward knee, they appear to be crumbling apart. The spear hand is very clear and defined, but just outside of the effigy. Both these pennies are mint state, and otherwise show nice detail.

    This is a clear picture of what i believe to be a LARGE 3 i had recently.
  25. secret santa
    Iain Dracott records both types.
  26. Peckris 2
    I've never heard of anyone differentiating between types of 1865/3 - have you ever found a seller who does?

    Like this on eBay.

    Hello Rach. Basically yes, it's been machine hollowed. Originally it may well have had another bust (from another coin, reduced in size to fit) of the king inserted into the hollow to create a doubled-headed trick coin, often called a magicians coin.

    Hi, can anyone tell if this has been ground flat? Thank you.
  32. blakeyboy
    Maybe it's me, but it's only a short time ago that members were talking of the lack of activity on the forum, as if it was stagnating, and now we have a pile of new members turn up recently.....good to see....
