A nice example of a dying die (see what I did there ) but not worth forking out £400 for one! But if it was just the bottom leg of the E missing, then you would fork out 400. People ask 'silly prices', whatever that means, because there are people willing to pay extra for something abnormal. Every dog has its day. You used to be able to pick up an 1839 proof set for £10-15. Today you might have to pay £180K because the market has lapped them up. Take the 1 off the front and reduce it some more and we will be approaching a realistic price based on rarity/desirability. Quote

I would say it was a detecting find, except that the un-etched areas are too nice to have been under the earth. It must have somehow been unknowingly exposed to moisture, or some chemical while being stored. . 1 Quote

Certainly not blunt trauma. 1 Quote

davidrj Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Another ugly one, but only 99p - finally got a filled 5 1915 penny David 2 Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 That's a good example David, shame about the coin's state. I'm still on the lookout. The blocked 5 and a half decent recessed ear are on the list for this year. Quote

terrysoldpennies Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 yes I think your right , but the ones I've seen were the complete blockage , so probably the more common Terry Quote

It's the 1920 filled 2 that he shows 3 stages of fill for, he also lists a filled 2 for 1921 but no illustration Edited March 10, 2016 by davidrj Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Thanks, I'm mixing up the dates then. Also there's a filled 2 for 1932 as per Brian's coin, I think it's also in this thread. Quote
