Marlybob1: The gift that keeps on giving….. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-name-of-the-latest-big-blunder-2021-error-coin-A-bargain-TRY-ME-A-QUID/124517952727?hash=item1cfdd92cd7:g:y-EAAOSwLulf9bpT

Agreed. Oh, and happy new year to you too Stu. Long time no see etc.

What are the odds??? Er, none whatsoever.), didn't it come to her in a Whitman folder of pennies she'd bought at a jumble in the same church? So that's twice she's suggested she may have their valuable penny but still happy to offer it for sale on Ebay. Oh, and I see it appears she's now out of rare Indian silver coins. Plod should knock and have a word.

Apologies. I wanted to upload an image but there was a problem doing so and the empty post I can't now delete. This is a problem I've noticed here in the past. Anyway, here's the image again…..

Yup. Works for me.

Yes Chris, what I thought too. Look at the foot of the 'F' in RFX. To the left tapered while to the right cut off short at sharp right angles. Also, the middle and upper horizontal bars match those of the E punch used elsewhere in the legends. Further, the RFX 'F' doesn't match the F in FRA. Still, nice find all the same.

Now £255, with eight days still to run. People are mental.

That certainly does look to be a likely candidate. The size would probably match too.

I'm loving this. It's what my end of the hobby is all about. I thought the CCF post worth sharing here and, as usual, Rob kicks off with a spot on observation. The word 'unique' is so often used incorrectly but if a coin is an only known (or, to date, noticed) surviving example of a die does 'unique' apply?

Yes, I've just read that over on the other forum. A most unusual little coin.

Beautiful.

Dear god, was that really worth the effort? I haven't a calendar in front of me but doesn't British Pedant Day fall in Julember? Switch it off and come down now Timmy, dinner's ready.

Or possibly thread. Interchangeable I suppose. They're certainly the best chuckle Ebay have offered me today.

New Brighton.

I agree. The logical explanation is 1695, short run, first issue. Your photographic evidence nails the date.
