Interesting - they've brought out a new replica version of the Victoria copper penny with slightly different engraving to the hair among other things. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/297276769179?itmmeta=01JTE8F3234WHF1HM7JWMH2BWM&hash=item453713839b:g:CpQAAeSweYJoEyyQ&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1e5ss3Jgnyy4zFpTgT9YSajr66W99ezTrrAu6YzxxkDMDzlAEkBcJsJAtc%2BeFi1Jdgncfk0IoY3WslogoWLquiA6fmxawT13yxy6pzmok2JMfoDx4barv5Kjhv%2FsRMiiKACDrsVxI8xQA62V4kpub%2BagVVN%2B2%2Bm0DGmv3TMQzZqC0PuR8Y60Tk0WRcF6074y1Kbpi9Z2KLbx1efbu1DY4Qx%2FXtGb1bJcwwB2MuVxfPm3A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5axvMjTZQ

Hi, Picked this 1902 up today with an unusual (angular) 9, I've been looking through the posts and other sources for similar examples and can't find any, guessing it might be a common occurrence, can anyone advise? Thanks again

Thanks for bringing it over. Great to have them all in the same place. I think that the die crack over the F of F D confirms the same obverse die as Martin's.

Thank you i was just googling my old coin and this thread showed up, I am always finding something but nothing as rare as the Stephan penny, a nice little Alexander showed up Saturday.

I like the E&D/BG Wm IV coins as the busts are all taken from current Wm IV British coins, so this is his sixpence head, the guilder has the shilling bust, the 1/4 guilder has one of the maundy busts and the 2 and 3 guilders have the slightly amended halfpenny and penny busts.

I use all the above AND Richards website.. I think I'll print it out and have a GREAT REFERENCE BOOK!!! It will just need to be updated periodically...

In for a PLNNY in for a pound

Could someone confirm my ID on this please. I think it's reverse L. Gary kindly forwarded the Draycott articles, which is where I found the pointings. A of half to a tooth.

Obverse 5.

If I did this correctly, it should link to different variants of the F-274a that I posted a while back... http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/3664-coin-aquisition-of-the-week/?page=30&tab=comments#comment-39212

As you know I am relatively new to this variety business, but for what it's worth I think I agree on both those. F282 is Dies 7+G. Obverse 7 has the fourth leaf in the third lot down, which yours has. Reverse G has the door on the lighthouse, which yours does. F321 is dies 11+J. Reverse - it can only be J or L and L has the H of Halfpenny much closer to the lighthouse. With reverse J it can only be obverse 11 or 13, and the rose is too indistinct (I think) to be 13. Most of the other distinguishing features are worn away so only a best guess. ... but feel free to correct me!
