    Odd silver 2p coin 1971

    MACKSILKY. replied to MACKSILKY.'s topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Hi, guys, at last managed to get the two pence weighed. It weighed 7.2 grams. So is this a circulated nickel off metal strike? If so how common are they. cheers jim.

    Hi guy's, a friend at work brought this odd looking 2 pence coin in to show me. I'm not really clued up on decimal coins so i thought i would put it to the forum. Anyway it's a 2 pence coin dated 1971 and silver in appearance. It doesn't look sprayed or painted, any ideas. And are these rare? sorry about the quality of the scans i took them at 3AM. Cheers lads and lasses for any info. Regards jim.

    Odd 1862 penny obverse ?

    MACKSILKY. replied to MACKSILKY.'s topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Another one chaps i've come across, this one a bit between mine and brians. Note the position of the die clash and the ribbons. This one also has a very weak low colon dot between F and D.

      Looks like a reverse D...

      Reverse F has other indicators to mark it also....
      Interestingly enough, when you see a reverse  F, you will know it for certain as it is so distinct. .
      Not home now  so I can't post any for you to see...

      Hi Jim  picture below of a   5-f .  Note the main on the helmet is broader , and the prominent rock where on the D type coin the signature would be. On this well worn coin it is quite distinct . If the rare type indicators are not there , I can't see it  being of any worth ,   Terry
