i dont know what one looks like :/

i thought that, but the 1 is a I in the date so i'm guessing its the dye again

yea was looking through some of my older purchases and noticed a couple of letters on this halfpenny looked a little off. look at the 2nd I in victoria and the second T in britt, you can clearly see they are not aligned with the edge of the coin, also signs of the bottom serif on the E in REG going, that is clear also. also look at the enlarged date picture, just next to the 6, there appears to be the ghost of an older 6 clearly shaped next to it (the new 6 is halfway through it so plenty of it left) its clearer at the top of the 6 and coming off the middle part.

20p's have had errors like that for a fair few years, (i have some 2003's i think they were with hair lumps.) but yea the quality of the new design coins.. are horrid.

i have bought from bitsandbobs before. pelnty of good sellers on ebay

yea fake 20ps

awesome fake pound that, i got some very good fake pounds and some howlers

royal mint site has the full list of mintage figures

i only have the england one, not seen any of those for a while

yes its the rarest at 485,500 mintage

trust me i can... not going to though

currently its the only one i know of.. 2008's should have the dot

how about no dot?

and that penny passed off? lol

never seen a victorian forgery before, wonder where all those fakes went

the hell.. havn't seen mine me i collect french coins, mostly 20th century (the 45-60 period is acctually worth a bit lol) british pennies 1960 and any cheap coins i can get before then

depends, i dont mind them if they are of the period and marked up as so.

poor striking doesnt help, but i'm going for VF

by the looks of it, the die was on its last legs one prong is a die crack, and another going from the ship to the rim, also a curious random blob near brittanias knee

this is the 1947, its hard to spot but look at the lustre loss there is lustrous line going up the the N from brittanias hand on the shield, which is part of the ghosting here is the 1935, as you can see its clear

i'll dig out the pictures later, its not as severe as it is on the 1918, but its there.

yes its ghosting, pretty common, and yes i have a 1935 with it, also a 1947 although not as severe, it does pop up in ALL pennys post 1895 but its not as common on the dates around 1917-21

yea noticed they put em up there the other day, not a bad figure either i have 2 of these handover ones and only one of the the other one lol

yea i noticed that too. only note i have of any significance is 1 US doller series 1988 A 03032891

this one
