I've shown a close up of my 1933 and as Richard says I to cannot see just how the alteration was made , but if I were to attempt it, I would cut a 3 off another 1930s penny leaving an extra amount of metal on the bottom of the 3 , Then take the coin that is to be altered and carefully remove the last digit down to a flat surface. Then I would etch down into the coin to the exact shape of the 3 . Finally inset the 3 into the hole with some kind of glue , as I think any kind of soldering would show . Although it would have to be carried out by someone with great skill such as a jewelry maker for it not to show . ???

Talking of 1879s , I think I got a bargain when I picked this one up recently for just twenty quid. -

I picked this 1933 penny up a while back now , but forgot at the time to share it with you . It would be nice if it were the real Mc Coy, but a pretty good modified example I think . -

Acquired this 18.60 dot penny recently [ Gouby 1860Sx ], which also has the E in ONE trying to turning into an F [ Its on Richards Dot penny list ] When I received the coin I had a really good look at it and noticed something else . The obverse side also has a central cut ribbon, and smaller re'entered colon after F: D : Making it a [ Gouby 1860 Vc ] as well . So three separate errors on one penny ? -

I think the H must have been added seperatelly to each working die as I have found 1881 coins with it positioned all over the place. -
Penny Acquisition of the week
terrysoldpennies replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I would have thought that in those days the letter repair punches would have been hand made , and therefore every one would be very slightly different , also when the working dies were repaired the depth of the strike would vary in accordance with how hard the punch was struck. -
