Hi and welcome Gillybean. Yes looks like an H there in the first photo. You should grab yourself a loupe, it'll help to see things like this and if you're collecting coins it's always handy to have one laying around.

If he is selling any, he won't get far, I've already asked twice and been ignored

Correct, in the sense that 4 of something is worth more than 1 of something. Not in the sense that the value of each coin goes up proportionally to the known quantity, the value of each one will still remain the same, if you have 1 or 50. Maybe for other things this isn't the case, but certainly with an error coin like this. Regarding them being consecutive strikes - 1) that's not something people look for in coins 2) how you you know they're consecutive? Just because they're the same, they could be the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th examples that were cranked out. They would still look the same

Surely that cannot be correct - more of something can't equate to it being rarer.. There should always be very similar errors out there of any error coin, unless the mint worker has EXTREMELY quick fingers and stops production just one error coin in (no chance). If you did want to sell one, I'd be interested

One of my favs. In the right light you can see the whole exergue and date under the ONE on the rev.

It would be called a 'retained rim cud', like you say it arises from problematic dies. You also have quite a clear blakesley effect, in 2 separate places. The weak areas are caused by the die pulling all that metal into the cud, causing the areas directly opposite to lose details. If you want to sell it I would take it off your hands. eBay will get you about 10-20 quid. PM me if you want to get rid.

No you're not wrong, they're definitely 12 sided. Which examples are you referring to?

Not too worried. If you're a serious collector who is buying coins that are deemed valuable enough to copy, you should already know your stuff. The same problems come with this as with casting too, you copy the original coin LFL so any imperfections/knocks/tell tale signs will be seen on every subsequent coin. Definitely brings the cost of making forgeries right down though. I think due diligence and communication will be the key to such a problem.

Well I didn't think about that until someone mentioned it here a few years back, as soon as I read it I thought 'shit, my coins have been moving this whole time', but after investigating they're pretty snug in the capsules and it's the capsules that don't quite fit in the trays. Although I have one tray that I had to buy here that the capsules are almost too snug in.. Difficult to get them out.

That worries me too! But be safe in the knowledge that the capsules are rotating inside the trays, instead of the coins inside of the capsules

Yeah definitely interesting, especially as it's been kept in such good nick. Would love to hear if you did find it anywhere!

I like this one. Very exciting searching and having to outbid others to win it, very satisfying having it and being able to look at it whenever you want. I also take out all my coins every month or so and just look through them. Because they're in capsules, in trays, after a month of movement most have rotated and they're all out of place, gives me an excuse to look at them by lining them up again

Would seem strange to have provenance, seeing as anyone who had it should have known what they had, or at least auction houses/potential bidders would see and the price would've been higher. I reckon this one's passed through private sales through the years..

Lovely, and a great price too. Keep 'em coming That 1865 a 5 over 3?

Did you read further down about the guy who listed the 'upside-down' fiver?

Welcome Jamie, you're in good hands here being a penny collector. Although most of the people responding will be direct competition for you As is standard practice for a nooblet, post a couple of pictures of some of your favourites for us to enjoy

Yeah does sound like a brockage. Depending on the condition you can sell it from anywhere between about 70 - 400 quid. There are less buyers out there for error coins, but if you do sell it don't just take the first low ball offer (which you will get), someone will come along.

Don't forget I edited everyone's posts before you got it That's why it's a great buy...AND great eye

Great buy, great eye, Dave

Really hate that sellers pictures of screenshots of pictures on his computer, annoys me everytime I see them.

Go figure lol.

My bad! You make goods points, I still occasionally panic bid Especially at DNW or other auctions with live bidding bad habits die hard.

Pull the other one Dave, ebay don't remove listings

Made me chuckle too. That's 'nuclear bids' and 'chatter marks' I've nicked off you now VS

That's sensible bidding there Ian, something some of us should observe sometimes Snipe can mean sitting there and clicking a few seconds before the auction ends, but can also refer to sniping as in placing a bid through a third party site which will bid through your account on your behalf, at a designated time. This is why sometimes even when you snipe with a second to go you still get beaten, the auto snipes can bid it within milliseconds of the auction ending. If you already knew that, I've read your post wrong and I'm sorry
