Recommended Posts

Hi,

Peck's 4th article in the series is now up for those who have been following. Here's the link​:

http://www.jncoins.co.uk/JNC/en/content/24-coinage-of-george-v-part-4

If you want to read the whole series, just go to the home page and click articles.

As a matter of interest an amended series is being run in Coin News based on the articles on the JNCoins web site.

I'm looking forward to the next article regarding the 2 "rogue" pennies (1922 and 1926) with M.E. obverse and 1927 reverse. However, I notice that there is no mention of the 3rd rogue penny (1926) with M.E. obverse and pattern or hybrid reverse that has been discussed on these forums. It would be a shame if this were not discussed or even explained.

A most informative read thanks. WW1 not withstanding it still took a long time to solve a quality issue which did not enhance the

Mint's reputation. Ghosting for example was a feature of Edward bronze coins.

Hi

Prepare for disappointment, Richard. I do owe you for use of your pictures of the 1926 ME penny with 1927 - many thanks. However, I didn't feel sufficiently convinced by the "3rd rogue penny" to include it, not at this stage anyway. Possibly it might merit an article of its own sometime?

The part you may be interested in, is the theory behind those two pennies, but even more, the radical speculation behind the ENTIRE 1926 issue, all 4 million of them. Hopefully Coin News is out now, or very soon?
