    This is the halfcrown reverse - the design (like the shilling) is a bit of a dog’s dinner, but this proof makes it look quite good.

    The main difference that I can see - which would account for the flaw being in slightly different places - is that the I on the second example appears to be a bit higher than the first, which can also be seen in relation to the underlying character beneath it, the bottom of which protrudes. It looks as if the I was repunched TWICE.

    I'd like a copy too, please

    Alice Walker? I thought she was from Luther?

    I did the same - but when I went to cancel they asked me choose “why” … then extended my free trial for another 30 days! And again - I think I got 3 months free altogether.

    Welcome to the forums H

    I've been wary of 1907 since I saw a reader’s survey in Coin Monthly in 1969 where a large number of ‘varieties' were listed, all featuring the digit 7 and nothing else! They never made it into even the Check Your Change booklets.

    A real 1865/3 doesn't look anything like that, sorry.

    I would doubt it, for the simple reason that an F would still have its bottom serif. My thought is that it's either die damage or a slight misstrike.
  10. Peckris 2
    It may appear to be F (or E) over B but please note it's actually B over F/E as it's 'BRITT'. This may be something to do with the way they did the repair.

    It's coming up "Lot not found "?

    Maths is short for the plural 'mathematics' - how do you reckon 'math' is right??

    We have a Hammered forum - for future enquiries, that's the place to post (FYI)

    omg blakey, I never knew you were American

    so it was way more than 950? probably a zero missing...
  16. Peckris 2
    someone please tell me how 950 cheddar cheeses can possibly be worth £300,000?
  17. Peckris 2
    Indeed I have! Along with all my decent finds from the late 60s, which include the first ever 1926 penny I found - which, after several months and a very close look, turned out to be an ME - plus an UNC 1938 halfpenny with good lustre, an EF 1935 halfpenny with lustre, and a 1909 halfpenny in better than VF.

    Nice find - beats any bun penny I found in 5/- penny bags (the best would have been 1890 1891 1892 in VG). I do remember switching to 3d and in the first bag I checked was a 1949!
  19. Peckris 2
    Agreed - but perhaps they want to keep the hoard together, at least for the time being?
  20. Peckris 2
    Wow, I never knew Bernie was selling his penny collection. I remember his 'Wanted' ads in Coin News in the 90s. I also didn't know he was the owner of the 1954.

    Japanese workers employed in a sewage works were happy to meet each other briefly, like Nips in the shite.
  22. Peckris 2
    Amazing that they are nearly all either Harold or William, of 1066 fame. I wouldn't be unduly worried by reduced rarities - for one thing, those two kings from 1066 make them VERY popular, and second, they will be on museum display indefinitely.
  23. Peckris 2
    OMG, has Coin Monthly been resurrected?
  24. Peckris 2
    I just did too.
  25. Peckris 2
    Best of luck - hope you manage to find one.
