    super, I buy items from ebay buyers and it doesn't turn up, instead of the usual. I get this You purchased this item as a PayPal guest user and will need to contact PayPal directly by going through their resolution centre. since when has this been a thing. last time I checked i was using my paypal account I have always used, as well.

    the 1 is fainter on mine, and doesn't have that spike
  6. scott
    yes, I have it, and can see the exact same thing, I'll upload pictures later.
  7. 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.
  8. scott
    except I have it in hand, there is something there, but faint.
  9. scott
    oh just the underlying 1 under the 2 maybe
  10. 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
  12. 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.
  13. scott
    perhaps those letters are recut?
  14. scott
    isn't 1828 sixpence something like 16k minted
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. scott
    well it wasn't the Metal change, that was 1961.
  18. scott
    would this not be the flow of metal from the striking as well, are the numbers slightly thicker?
  19. scott
    I wish I had one.
  20. 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)
  21. 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.
  22. scott
    only date width listed in groom is 1912 Halfpenny
  23. scott
    1909 1 to tooth I have found is rarer then the open 3 1903
  24. scott
    Gouby X is rare enough for me not to find/get one for peanuts I
  25. scott
    and the fact the crown is more central on the picture rather then the coin
