Fault... Find of the day... Victorian 1876 Maundy 3 Pence Cracked Die, Letter A in Regina ....I do like a Fault 👍

Rupees, 1835, 1841 & 1882

Following on from a recent post that was about Rupees, I revisited my hoard of Empire Coins and thought this would be worthy of a share, a Victorian 1886 Canadian 5 Cents that has a date No' 8 below the main date No' ...how did this happen ?

these two have faults, the 3 pence would be easy to dismiss until I took a closure look. on the obverse, the bust looks corroded or so I thought taking a closure look at the letters the "A's seem deformed, the area by the front of the nose looks corroded ? I undersatned to coin is rubbed but thought i was worth looking into, 🤔 The 2 Pence has cracks going to the right hand of the top of the crown, also at the 3 o'clock ... I do like a fault. 👍

I'm still finding interesting Empire coinage as I sift through..... these I had but not ventured near in over 35 years, now I have a page that covers different monarchs, dates and country's.... I do like the colonial use coins as well, 👍

aha, yes theres this one as well that I found awhile ago,

very interesting information / knowledge 👍

Hello and welcome, die no's are additional interest for me, I understand that the following coins also have Die No's.... Welcome to the rabbit hole.👍 Coins that have die numbers include: Halfpenny (1862): Die numbers are found to the left of the lighthouse on the reverse. Penny (1863): Die numbers are below the date on the reverse. Sixpence (1864-1879): Die numbers are just above the date on the reverse. Shilling (1864-1879): Die numbers are just above the date on the reverse. Florin (1864-1878): Die numbers are on the obverse near Victoria’s bust. Half Sovereign (1863-1880): Die numbers are on the reverse under the wreath. Sovereign (1863-1874): Die numbers are on the reverse under the wreath. These die numbers were inscribed on coins issued by the Royal Mint for circulation in the UK and its possessions between 1863 and 1880

"W&P, which adds to its uniqueness and can not find another example. " 😀 awww well there you go, knowing there's others is reassuring to know and that its not bogus, given enough time I guess the merchants name will become apparent, Many thanks for this its useful to know, 👍

Today I found this George IV Shilling 1826 has W&P stamped on it, I have the understanding this was done by company's as a way of advertisement its tidy job so I will be keeping it.👍
