    The first three digits were already on the die, the last of the four entered manually afterwards. The spacing and positioning will sometimes appear odd, and this is not unusual. Granted though, this one is at the top end of 'odd'.
  2. Michael-Roo
    Just, no.

    Agreed; not high tide.

    I messaged the seller to tell them exactly that. No response, and the listing stands.

    Those prices are quite astonishing. I have Peck's own 636 plate coin (Montagu 3); so now may be a good time to sell.

    Is it possible there's a hint of a remaining crossbar, as highlighted below?

    Not sure what you're saying in relation to the above 1736 (3/5), 1754 (4/0) comments Rob. Could you clarify?
  11. Michael-Roo
    Certainly scarce, but I would have to disagree; examples can always be found offered for sale, whereas 1736, 3 over 5, is almost never seen. Even old Colin Cooke and Farthing Specialist lists regularly include the 1754, 4 over 0, often listed in a range of grades, but I've yet to find either offering a single example of 1736, 3 over 5.
  12. Michael-Roo
    I have a rather nice 1736, 3 over 5. These are much harder to find.

    You can view Dalton & Hamer's book online: https://www.scribd.com/document/206664745/The-provincial-token-coinage-of-the-18th-century-illustrated-by-R-Dalton-and-S-H-Hamer

    Cheers Stu. Elsewhere, I continue to look forward to your return.... 😉

    Here's another relatively recent 1701 find I'm rather pleased with. As for Vs on the obverse, large zero reverse.
  16. Michael-Roo
    That's a beauty.

    Here's one I found last year, GV over B on the obverse. Extremely rare in any grade.
  18. Michael-Roo
    Indeed! 🙂
  19. Michael-Roo
    I'm pretty sure they were struck more often than on a weekly basis.... It does exist. I know my 17th century copper well enough to confirm the letter is an I, and which is even more obvious 'in hand'. I see people listing 1700 and 1701 on ebay, stating their coins to be the rare unbarred As variety. Unbarred is the norm. As with bars are the ones to look out for.

    Here’s a recent find I thought I should share with the group. 1701 halfpenny with an obverse reading of IERTIVS for TERTIVS and, as far as I know, previously unrecorded. My initial, and obvious, thought was die fill on the crossbar of the T, but on closer inspection I see no evidence of a bar, and the letter is an exact match for the I in GVLIELMVS but not the second T in TERTIVS.
  21. Michael-Roo
    Halfpenny varieties also no longer loads.

    Agreed, PMD. It has clipped the outer curve of the upper loop too.
  24. Michael-Roo
    Terry, Here's something I came across earlier this evening which I thought may interest you.
  25. Michael-Roo
    Thank you!
