Michael Gouby has recently sent me pictures of an 1860 F10 with an interesting variation on the reverse. There are 2 additional lines to the border of St Andrew's cross in the top left quadrant of Britannia's shield. They seem to be too accurately placed to be the result of a die clash and Michael has asked collectors to check their reverse D pennies for any further instances. I have checked all mine and can't find any. Michael (and I) will be interested to learn of any additional examples.

An 1882 F115 with apparently no H was sold by London Coins in 2014

For me there would always be the element of doubt - mintmarks are one of those tiny areas that are prone to die fill.

Only if virtually mint state as in the one shown on the previous page, or it's clearly the correct die pairing. Otherwise, even if legit, there will always be an element of doubt.

I looked at a lot of H examples and they all appear to have the H in the middle or slightly to the right. This one seems, I say seems, to have an 'H' type shape slightly left of centre... The weak '2' is unusual as well....

If you stare at the space below the two eights long enough I do see a boxlike section. Could be my imagination !

I see she was not willing to shell out for a wreath crown to make up the 1933 set then? See too how all coins other than the penny are in oddments box condition so would have seen quite a few years in circulation before the deceased thought to squirrel then away inside the clock.

hmmm....well...probably, but in essence the jury's still out.

Someone could be about to be badly burned. I think we should send her a PM saying she should end the listing or else.

Definitely in that condition. Of course the great thing about it being in that mint state is that you know immediately the H hasn't been worn or tooled away.

Just watched the unc 1882 F112 sell for £30,000 plus commission !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as it would be very satisfying to take all the credit, I had a gander at Richard's Half penny site last night, for the first time. He's of the view that the 2 F322's that he's seen, both bear obverse 11. So my discovery has already been discovered.
