    the 1 is fainter on mine, and doesn't have that spike
  2. scott
    yes, I have it, and can see the exact same thing, I'll upload pictures later.
  3. scott
    it is clearer on the ebay one, there is a shape that resembles a 1 just above the middle tooth under the 2. look there in zoomed.
  4. scott
    except I have it in hand, there is something there, but faint.
  5. scott
    oh just the underlying 1 under the 2 maybe
  6. scott
    I had already made my punt http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232003655672?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    looks like a die crack
  8. scott
    what it is, is a knackered die, look at the crack across the neck, to me the letters look underlying, rather then double struck. if you zoom in you can see doubles on the first Letter in GEOR, the R and X in REX, to me the consistency isn't good enough for double, it might well be doubled as well, but there is a clear 8 over another 8, as for the 9, its over another 9 if anything.
  9. scott
    perhaps those letters are recut?
  10. scott
    isn't 1828 sixpence something like 16k minted
  11. scott
    to the eye its barely noticeable I have to angle it to see the tell tale bumps. 1967 it seems to be rarest as well.
  12. scott
    so no edit button.. but yea had a look at some at the dealers, and found possible examples in 1965 66 and 67 as well.
  13. scott
    well it wasn't the Metal change, that was 1961.
  14. scott
    would this not be the flow of metal from the striking as well, are the numbers slightly thicker?
  15. scott
    I wish I had one.
  16. scott
    from the pictures of the 1909 1 to tooth, the rim/teeth seem to be longer anyway, and there are 2 other methods of finding it, (hand holding trident, and trident pointing)
  17. scott
    looks like a recut R. on a die crack? you do see a bump sometimes on the R in 1862 obverse halfpenny, but this is an earlier date, and not the same bump.
  18. scott
    only date width listed in groom is 1912 Halfpenny
  19. scott
    1909 1 to tooth I have found is rarer then the open 3 1903
  20. scott
    Gouby X is rare enough for me not to find/get one for peanuts I
  21. scott
    and the fact the crown is more central on the picture rather then the coin
  22. scott
    yea such rubbish that newspaper clip, the Sun aims to have the highest editorial standards such lies
  23. scott
    we are also discounting the different 9's used throughout as well
  24. scott
    but there are many different styles of 3 for 1863 as well there is 1864 coss 1864 plain and the wide date which is noticeable, but Haven't seen one in a decent grade/price to examine the type of 4 that is
  25. scott
    lacquered 1916... but a nice detailed obverse (and poor reverse to make up for it ) 1862 Penny, I in BRITT is aligned to the first T and also points to tooth 1861 penny with I over lower I in BRITT something down at the bottom of the date area cant really tell.
