Danz Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Hi all. I have what I believe is a 1776 half penny. I know RM didn't mint any but are they a common evasion type. Cheers Dan. Quote
Charlie Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Do you have any photos? I'd be interested to see. Quote
rooneydog Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I found a small piece about them on here http://www.predecimal.com/forged/georgeiiip2.htm or it could be a rare Machin Mills type Quote
Danz Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 I'm trying to get one but keeps saying to big. Reduced it 328KB but still won't let me. Quote
Charlie Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 The top tail of the end digit looks like it could be a 6, im not 100% convinced, but looks too rounded to be a 5? Quote
Danz Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) It is of poor quality but under loop looks like 6. The top of up tail just ends facing up. Pics not great and like you said "looks too rounded". Edited March 7, 2016 by Danz Quote
