Paulus Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Is this a 'known' variety? Top coin is a standard coin, the one below is recorded in the CGS population database as "5's in date appear open" (they have recorded 3 such examples) Quote
PWA 1967 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Nice coin Badger. Paul i think if they have graded three you have answered your own question. They only tend to use varieties if they are referenced but can only comment on pennies, Pete. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Just having a quick look they dont say its got a premium price wise ,which makes me think its not that scarce. What they have done however is mentioned the variety of which i am pretty sure must be acknowledged. Pete. Quote
Paulus Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Thanks Pete. By 'known' I meant is it recorded in any publications, I don't have anything that covers copper varieties Quote

Michael-Roo Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 A halfpenny sized medalet (1689?). William one side, Mary the other. Montagu No.3. This is the better of two examples I have. Quote
Peter Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 How come Mary's side has a lump out of it showing daylight,whereas Willies doesn't ? Quote
Michael-Roo Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 It doesn't/isn't. Its just a shallow nick. Quote
Michael-Roo Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 My other one (attached). I have an example of the Montagu copper farthing medalet featuring the same busts which is one of the best preserved I've seen. I'll upload images to the 'Let's See Your Coppers' etc./Farthings thread tomorrow. Quote
Paulus Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) What date would that be roughly? (the Viccy decimal) Edited March 8, 2016 by Paulus Quote
Rob Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Just now, Paulus said: What date would that be roughly? (the Viccy decimal) 1857-9. Quote
Paulus Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 And what do we have here? Some kind of pattern in gilt bronze? Quote

Paulus Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 You have some eye-wateringly beautiful halfpennies Rob! Quote

Rob Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I have got rid of most of them and have only kept a basic core of a couple hundred pieces covering all possible designs, rulers etc Quote
