Ah, thats a bit more clear... It looks like a load of numbers to me - "64 - 45 15A" maybe?

To me it looks like "Blank 15F" but it is very hard to tell... Is this your own coin? I'd love to own something with a little "touch" to it like that. Edit: The letters I can make out from "Blank 15F" are "Bl" at the begining, a gap (where an "a" could have been?) then "nk" maybe with what looks like an "o" or "d" after that... the "15" is quite clear, and the "F" could be "A, F, H" maybe even "I"...

It could be, but I think its more likely to just have the E readjusted a bit.

Edit: This is about a different coin but of the same era, my mistake. Well if you got the image from the Basil Nicholson Collection featured on colincookecoins then you would have been able to read: This is more than likely the same coin, just different images. Where did the images come from? Oh, information found: here Edit: Ah wait! Its a different coin silly me... Ignore this then i guess... I'm sure I've seen this online before somewhere...

More fancy than mine. I don't have a tripod, so what I do is place the camera on top of a big oxford dictionary and it comes out just fine Although, come to think of it, I'm sure I used to have a tripod... Ah well. Those are very nice pics oli, well done.

It cirtainly looks nice, I haven't heard of a broad other than of Cromwell. Looks like a Charles II Unite maybe? Although the portrait would be wrong for Charles II, interesting coin!

1. Sounds like a pattern or token (not fully sure). 2. Sounds like pennies to me. The 1797 would be a cartwheel penny, and looks something like this? The 1807 looking like this? 3. Could be a half penny or farthing (im guessing its copper going by your other coins) (example image). 4. Is probably a half penny or farthing of Charles II (reigned from 1660 - 1685) Pictures would be of help.

Shouldn't things like these be listed?

Michael Coins lists: and 1970: Link

I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean, but if I am on the right lines then yes, the 1970 Proof Halfpenny (from the issued sets) has this wide rim variation. I think it is also the same that the wider rim is scarcer than the normal rim type.

Well heres a Victroria Fathing ...looks like someone put the "r" in the wrong place... Ah, he also lists 1894 and 1901 Victroria Fathings and a few ...ooo...Edward VI Fathings! Oh, and it looks like Edward VII reigned a few years before that.. Now theres someone who knows what hes talking about!

Can you get a picture of this coin? I'm interested to see what it looks like... and plus it might help determine if the coin you have is what you say it is.

I had thought of that. Colin Cooke's EF WW Incuse (Link) looks quite clear to have only one stop. I don't know about the mark where the lower stop should be, but that same sort of mark is found to the right of the stop too. The same sort of mark is found where the upper stop should be on this 1839 one stop after DEF farthing, yet that is still listed as a different type.

I've just been browsing the farthings on ebay and came across this. It is a farthing of 1853 with only one dot after "DEF", whereas most(?) have a colon. I checked to see if any of Colin Cooke's site listed any, and there are two, one with WW Raised and the other with Incuse. But there is also one with the colon type for WW Incuse pictured. No books that I have, Spink or CCGB list this colon/dot difference, and I was wondering if it is actually noted anywhere?

I thought of that at first, but seeing as they are both in great condition (the one with perfect lettering bearing more marks than the other) I don't see how this would be. Further examining of both coins I can see that the curving (image 2) has "ELIZABETH II D G R (of REG)" being effected with "EG (of REG)" not effected then "F D" effected, and the date with no effect. The obverse being unneffected on both coins. Looking at other dates (from the few that I have here) I have one curved 2003, two curved 2002, and one perfect 2001. Silly suggestion(?): Could it be that the mint changed the lettering design in 2002, but then decided to change it back to how it was after some 2004 pennies had been minted? The only 2005 penny I could find has perfect lettering. Edit: Just looked some more, the 1998, 99 and 00 pennies I have also have perfect lettering.

Okay, I'm not sure if I am posting this is the correct place, but anyway... Yesterday night I picked up two 2004 pennies and decided to examine them. The first one had perfect lettering (image linky), but the second one had curved lettering (Image Linky 2). If you are unsure what I mean look at the bottoms of the letters to see where it curves inwards into the 'stem' of the letters. Any ideas? Edit: I haven't looked at any other dates yet, but out of eight 2004 pennies that I could find, two of them had curved letters (image 2).

At first I thought that it was a wind up, but after looking at his other sold items I am not really sure. He sold This a while ago, so I recon he has some knowledge of rare coins. Other than that, strange.

At your age

More of an ethnic revolution on my road. I used to think that Slough was full of chavs, but when I went to Uxbridge for the first time you couldn't exactly not see a chav at one moment in time. Chavs are annoying on buses ...and then theres goths! You know, those wierd ones that dress up in black (or pink in some cases ). But they ain't half as bad as chavs.

It does not look clear enough to be classed as anything other than a worn die, which yes is an error, but in this case it is not fatal enough for it to be classed as a new discovery.

thats great...(dats gr8) All dis iz goin 2 ma ed. I fink der r 2 mny chavz nawa days. Tell me wotz rong wiv dis wrld ... I think I might just come back to this forum for a while, it is quite amazing the things that one can miss out on after taking a break from coinage.

Yes, very well done Oli

Happy birthday Mitch
