-
just to let you know ,Your two 1806 pennies have the same set of pictures .

Simon Willis often has some great coins for sale, but in all honesty the TPG grading of this one seems like a joke!
Almost EF would be more like it .pricewise (still seems a bit steep ,if it was MS64) He seems to be selling the slab with its grading ,rather than the coin inside .He does have some really nice coins .

It's doesn't seem an english emission , I'd go for a contemporary continental penny
Thanks , I couldn't find a mint with the lettering thats visible .That would explain it .

Pics are not great ,need a book and a camera .

Some help required from the hammered buffs out there .Another hammered that I am having trouble identifying (really need to get a book )A bit beat up but has a lot of decent detail .

Also sent both sellers a message. Got a response from uk.pluck - signed himself Joe, and he seemed genuine. says the coin was gifted to him and asked me how to tell it was a fake. I told him and he thanked me - seems like another 'innocent'.

Is it not just a die clash ?.
Never even thought of it being a die clash .There are so many of them ,floating about the FB forums that I wrongly thought it was a ghosting design flaw .The last few years ,the RM's quality control has been nearly non existant .
-
It is called ghosting .The displacement of the metal when struck can show the design on either sign of the coin .Its normally caused by there being more metal on the raised design and the metal on the fields being thinner .Its simply the metal distorting when the coin is struck .Was common on the early George v pennies ,till they changed the design .I have seen quite a few of these on facebook forums ,so they probably are not a rarity .Its also possible that if its a design flaw ,that they all might have a bit of ghosting to some degree.

I've reported a number of items all from the same seller as he's attempting to pass them off as genuine coins.
He has one of the Henry VIII from the scarcer WRL mint lol. he says its a facsimile ,the people that can't tell its a fake are the same type of people who would need to google facsimile .

I have a 1917 penny with a raised dot at the left of the date .Will need to dig it out and try and get a pic up.

I thoroughly recommend Christopher Wren's books: "The Short Cross Coinage 1180-1247" and "The Voided Long Cross Coinage 1247-1279" both are available for no more than £12 brand new. Of course, no good for anything after Edward I but invaluable for the early stuff.
I do like a good coin book .It sounds just what I need .

They are not normally what I collect,but I do like to trawl ebay picking up cheap unidentified detector finds to try and work out what they are .This one though ,had me stumped .will need to pick up a copy of a decent edward hammered book .

Don't worry
It is a scarcer type of Edward III halpenny class XVIb.
In his book Lord Stewartby records two variants for the legends : Ewardus and Edwadus
thank you , wouldn't have bothered me if it was a continental copy , but that's even better .I know its not the greatest of conditions , but for £2.84 ,I can't complain

Hoping I havn't wasted my £2.64 on it LOL.

quite crude lettering as well .will try and add pics,if I can get clear enough ones .its not a great condition as it is ,but it is clear EW with no D .

pity its not mine .the owner bought it a couple of years ago as a beaded border for £30 ,which would still be a great price .
