Mr T Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Just saw this coin listed recently and thought it was quite interesting: http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/great-britain-penny-reverse-struck-on-an-1888-jam-183-c-589418d964 Odd that two dies of completely different diameter would have been used in such a way.

loose54 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I wondered where this coin went! It was being offered for sale by an Australian dealer for quite some time at something like AUS$16000 (off the top of my head). I went on their website the other day and thought I would see if this coin had moved and when it wasn't there I assumed it had sold. I agree Mr T, a very interesting coin, imagine what it would be worth if it were an American mule!! Quote

Nutsaboutcoins Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Interesting mule, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in the US. Quote
VickySilver Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 NOT! He has got to be kidding. An interesting combo, but errors just don't bring that even in the US of A. I can see that as a max 2k quid coin that I would go maybe to 500 on. Quote

loose54 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Yes, that's it Strand Coins! I agree that the price tag is ridiculous but it is very interesting nonetheless! I have seen very nice examples of brockage pennies fetch in the high hundreds of pounds and I would assume that this would be more desirable then a standard brockage so as Vicky estimated, I could see it get upto or around the 2k mark.
