Sorry, I have to agree with @ozjohn and @SilverAge3 - there's wear to the obverse and it just doesn't look like a proof at all.

1825 Shilling - how to spot a Barton Metal/Gilded variety
Peckris 2 replied to Paddy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There are also lots of farthings in this series which have been gilded to pass off as half sovs. I have two - one dull and clumsy, the other lustrous and very attractive. -
Very obtuse - he mentions the "1927 obverse" not reverse!

1893 Jubilee Sixpence in Upcoming Noonan's Sale
Peckris 2 replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The 1895 YH farthings suffer the same poor/worn die problem. -
That obverse looks absolutely terrible for a proof.

It doesn't if it's clearly a fantasy coin, not intended to replicate the real thing.
-
Unfortunately, missing the obverse I would say it's "only" of interest as a curio - but worth keeping!
-
thank you - I'm pretty sure that's toothed both sides; but it's very easy to see the reverse teeth as beads and they are very different to the obverse teeth.

Halfpenny ID check
Peckris 2 replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I agree that both appear to be E/B though the lower limb of the E is harder to make out on the earlier picture. I can see someone mistaking a halfpenny-sized E for a B - especially with the serifs curving inward - but it's much harder to see someone mistaking an F for a B though it's not impossible of course! -
Welcome to the forums Steve In my opinion the 6d has been machined sometime AFTER issue from the Mint. The difference in weight and thickness shows it's not a regular planchet, and a trial such as you suppose would be the same width and weight as a regular specimen. It would be good to see pictures of the obverse and reverse of the 1860 fathing. It might indeed be a toothed/beaded mule but do be aware that the toothed border can and often is, mistaken for beaded.

National currencies are as notional as crypto, except in two critical respects: 1. they reflect the 'real' economy, i.e. the GDP of a nation 2. they are underwritten by the national bank(s) you cannot say either in relation to Bitcoin
