    My only observation (apart from liking the countermark) is that it seems the coin was very well worn before the mark was applied.

    Extra points for the "London Coins" slab. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1933-Penny-Retro-gap-filler-THE-RAREST-DATE/143047022995?hash=item214e445993:g:M8kAAOSwsDZb5t8f:rk:32:pf:0

    Since we are dissecting Mr Gahlin's collection, I have a question regarding token edges. The Bedale halfpenny I bought was listed as DH9. But is this not the engrailed edge, 9b?

    Here's the rest of the page Ian. I had my eye on those too.

    I wonder if the fact that it's hideous has any bearing?

    Blimey Paddy - who knew? I can't help but wonder, since it's being sold as an "album filler", exactly what space is it meant to occupy?

    Is there a Shakespeare 50p?

    I'd try just the acetone first & forget the petrol unless the acetone didn't work.

    You're welcome, and I agree...it should have been a 3.

    Someone has machined a recess into the 2p and glued a ½p into it.

    And Pridmore 60.

    Isle of Man Atlas halfpenny, Pridmore 59.

    I found this rummaging through a recent DNW catalogue:

    Obviously it's a halfpenny, but excellent provenance: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Young-Victoria-1-Penny-1858-Bun-DEF/253919070956?hash=item3b1ec18aec:g:PNwAAOSwgEhbilJ2

    Just for those of us with a neck that goes straight up and down.

    Now, now, I don't go around casting disparaging remarks about your coins.

    I've never seen anything like that, only the streaky ones. Here's a 1920 - both this and the 1913 above have lamination issues. It looks to me like a problem with the metal mix which is why I always thought this was the brass issue described.

    I agree, I don't think they should be doing it. But I don't blame them either.
  22. mrbadexample
    Can you show me what you mean? This is the same as any of the others I've seen.
  23. mrbadexample
    I'm not entirely convinced about the "brass shells in the mix" explanation - has this ever been officially verified? The reason I'm unconvinced is this penny that shows the typical "brass in the mix" effect but that predates WWI. I've also got one or two from 1918.

    Welcome to the forum Rob. I don't see a die number on your coin. That doesn't mean that there isn't anything there, just that I can't see it. You might have a hard time showing it due to the corrosion. If there is a number it won't be directly under the 6, but below and between the 8 and 6., like this one from Tony Clayton's site.

    Good grief. It seems strange when you can go in and buy a coat for 50p (probably). Surely it would do them more good to price sensibly - they must know that lot's worthless.
