    mints have minting figures, they know how many were made we had mintmarks and monyers before dates, allowing for tracking etc. there is no other real reason to put dates on, other then to keep track of how much is produced in that year, can't think of an actual other reason to do it, other then, because you can.

    were they not, bringing the coinage up to standard after Henry VIII? seems best logic as you can record how much silver you are using and how much currency is out there. doesnt matter how many mints, each one could record, make financial sence for the country. seems like thebest logical explanation for this, look at key things, William III there are lots, due to recoinage, 1860 and 61, 1971, all replacing older coins, so more minted.

    or for the mint to keep track of how many were made?

    looking at them, i'm sure i have the first 2, but i dont see that much differance except a slight differance in the last 8 also the variant one has a flatter bottom on the 1st 8.
  5. scott
    we already had date spreads for OH pennies, so i don't get why this is odd, thats is all.
  6. scott
    o great.... something else to look for
  7. scott
    some of the 1860 variaties are rare, and should be worth lots, but most people don't list each type.
  8. scott
    thats a new one on me seen 1 over lower 1 on the first 1, as well as the well known 1 over higher 1. this one is new to me.

    1933 wasn't offical currency either. and i was refering to in that grade. can have my satin 19 in low grade for 1249.99
  10. scott
    those are not currency.
  11. scott
    O.O doesn't matter how rare a coin is, nothing post 1860 is worth that, and there are fair few rarer things.
  12. scott
    ahh yes those old Micros, we got 2 people on this site with sites just about farthings, and i got a couple not listed on those 1 is a variaty of another (1773) and 1 of those "maybes" I own as well

    you don't have to push the boat out far, you can find vare 1860-61 in lots of junk pennies if you know what to look for. my star penny cost less then a quid. your best bet is to look for known variaties, in a series you like or jot a few down and visit places and check ebay, depending on the books the dealers use you can get rare ones for the common ones price. there are so many, and we are talking Copper and Bronze? it is a wide area.

    looks like a to me as well, but that blob is sort of key. and yea George I and II overdates are very clear remember this one?
  15. scott
    looks like planchet, there are faint cracks coming off it. bit expensive for a holed coin though.
  16. scott
    i got this oddity that isn't there lookslike a late die, FID. and DEF : very weak, probaly not what you are looking for but.
  17. scott
    never find much in newly listed BIN the BIN is where most of it should be.
  18. scott
    it isn't even the narrow 1870 :/
  19. scott
    1875H there, and 1870 are usualy a bit more then usual
  20. scott
    I like the second one.
  21. scott
    if you are unsure i got a fridge to put them in
  22. scott
    ahh yes the denga standard design for the year if i recall.
  23. scott
    love that wide 6, it might be of interest though, being clear.
  24. scott
    I would have a good look at them first though, holed or otherwise might be a few rares in the earlier stuff.
