jon Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Not sure what one looks like so thought I would ask ☺ Sorry for the crappy photo Edited July 4, 2016 by jon 1 Quote
Rob Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Blocked dies remove detail, broken dies give added detail. Although people use the term blocked (usually referring to the incuse bits getting filled with crap), it is in fact damaged, with a bit fallen off Quote
jon Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 Thanks Rob. Was going through some coin's and groom book mentioned blocked 2''s and this one was different than all my others so wasn't sure Quote
bhx7 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Yes it is what people refer to as a blocked 2, partially blocked anyway. Nice catch. 1 Quote
copper123 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I think 1921 and 1922 pennys have the most blocked dies - yours is a partial blockage Once considered a proper variety , now not , poorly regarded and only fetches a small premium over ord. coins Quote
jon Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 thanks for the reply Copper I wasn't sure what one was but now I know Quote
