    Thanks Mike.

    What is it then Pete?
  3. mrbadexample
    Just battered and bruised I think.
  4. mrbadexample
    Just a damaged 1886 I think?
  5. mrbadexample
    Did you have any luck Brian?
  6. mrbadexample
    No issues for me either Mike.

    That's a very nice find for 50p. Personally I wouldn't get it slabbed but if you're just looking to sell it it might be worth it.
  8. mrbadexample
    He's sold 5 so far.
  9. mrbadexample
    Well, you know what you're getting.

    Somewhat damning description on the slab. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1877-Indian-Cent-Penny-1C-Certified-ANACS-VG8-Details-Rare-Key-Date-Coin-/142484906175?hash=item212cc320bf:g:oC4AAOSwoydWpU8g

    It's caused during the striking process when the two dies clash together without a blank planchet in between. Part of the design is then transferred to the opposing die. Subsequent coins struck will then have a faint impression from the other side, as yours does. In modern production this is likely to affect large numbers of coins so I don't think you could class it as rare.
  12. mrbadexample
    Yes.

    I'm not buying that one, it's covered in hairlines so it must have been cleaned.

    It does make me wonder if I shouldn't be taking a hammer / chisel / anvil / grinder to my nice £1s to make some errors. There are some seriously stupid people out there.

    I also reported it. Seems that multiple reports is the key.

    Go on then, I'll play. You need some low grade examples to add to the mix.

    I can't help Brian, but if you post it here you'll almost certainly get your answer.

    Population report (59 coins). 28 x type 1 25 x type 2 6 x type 5.
  19. mrbadexample
    Two pence. Very slightly over that if you melt them down for scrap, as I understand it.

    I stumbled across the first series quite by accident, but thought it was a little gem.
  21. mrbadexample
    And me, for all the good it'll do.
  22. mrbadexample
    Sorry to hear this. Best wishes pal.

    A lesson in grading: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Half-Penny-Collectable-Coins-1806-1899-/232433769174?hash=item361e21dad6:g:72EAAOSwlhpZgqTo http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Half-Penny-Collectable-Coins-1718-1799-/232433716967?hash=item361e210ee7:g:fbMAAOSwaWNZgpom

    Derek's a bit more forgiving in his book though:
  25. mrbadexample
    Bit short of Fine as Michael says, but I'd be quite happy with that.
