Agreed. Not exactly something that you'll come across, every day of the week.

Must've used quite a lot of pressure to achieve this effect, hence being out of shape, obviously. Oh well, you live and learn, and it didn't cost a fortune, thankfully.

I recently obtained this coin, and was just wondering if anyone else had ever seen such an error before, similar to this ?. Love how the reverse looks as if it says "Half a Penny". As you can see, it's fairly out of shape, and don't miss the part date repeat at the 4 o clock position.

I have 813 Farthings (virtually all George VI) for sale. Also included with this lot, is a very nice 1893 Victorian Farthing, still retaining some lustre, a tad more than the pictures suggest. Here's some pics for you to browse through. http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/PINMAN/no%201/fa3.jpg http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/PINMAN/no%201/fa1.jpg http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/PINMAN/no%201/fa2.jpg Asking a mere £40 for the whole lot, which would include free 1st Class Recorded Delivery. Will only send to a UK address, and can only accept payment via Paypal.

Sold.

Up for sale, is a collection of 557 American coins. This consists of the following.......... 103 Dimes 105 Quarter Dollars 56 5 Cents 293 1 Cent Here's a couple of pics, for anyone who may be interested. http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/PINMAN/no%201/am1.JPG http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/PINMAN/no%201/am2.JPG Asking £25 for the lot, which includes free First Class Recorded Delivery ( will only post to a UK address). Payment via Paypal only.

Sold.

Up for sale, are 129 Farthings, ranging from George III to Edward VII. The majority of these are Victorian, (76, and all are post 1859). There are 48 Edward VII Farthings amongst this lot. Condition wise, i'd say that most were around the fine mark. The asking price is £40 for the whole lot, plus whatever the postage cost is, to be paid via Paypal. I can provide a few pics, if there is any interest.

Just imagine if you could,though.I can visualize the scene. shopkeeper....."Haven't you got anything smaller ?" .

A big thanks to all,for you replies.After several attempts,the following pictures,are the best that my lower end camera,could manage,i'm afraid. After reading your reply,i checked out the Royal Mint website,and this coin is in fact,a fake.The reverse should be three lions,for that particular year (1997). Other than that,i don't know how the vast majority of people could tell,that this coin isn't actually a genuine one.To me,it just looks like any other well circulated 90's coin.

Let's assume for a moment,that this coin actually isn't a fake.If that were the case,do you think that the miss alignment,would give it any real significant value ?. I'll try and provide some better pics,at some point tomorrow.

When you spin a Pound coin around,shouldn't the obverse and the reverse,both be the same way up ?.I have checked countless other £1 coins,but unfortunately,all the others that i currently have,are all different designs,to the coin in question,so i have nothing to compare it to.......although all the others do have both sides facing the same way up.This may well be the way,that this particular design was minted,but it doesn't hurt to enquire.Please observe the attached pic. Forgive the poor quality of the pic,but it should be good enough,to see what i'm going on about.

They do exist.....i received one in my change,today.First one i've seen,though.

The sellers name made me laugh.

Well,if it was me,i'd probably end up parting with them via an online auction,such as coins4u.net,or Ebay.Should you decide to do this,then groups of around 50 - 100,may be your best bet.
