zookeeperz Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I sometimes wonder why I buy books. I must remember the premise is to read them lol. Fumbling through David's book looking at the Pennies of 1966 and the minor varieties. Specifically the one akin to the 1946 dot/die flaw penny. 1966 Finger /die flaw @ around the 9th plume from the front so anti-clockwise. Is this it? Quote
PWA 1967 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I had never heard of the Finger flaw Zoo . I dont have a clue what yours is either Zoo is it raised and wont blow off or just a dig Does anyone know or have a picture of this finger flaw one as intrigued to know why its called that. Pete.

Pete. yes it's raised but very subtle be too much of a coincidence to have a flaw that looks like a finger in exactly the same place the book reports it to be. It doesn't show any pictures it just said a few specimens have been found to exhibit bladi bladi . I was looking at the plumes thinking one of those was a finger. It might well be still until we know where its situated.lol I re read it again that is not the finger flaw it comes of the 9th helmet plume back from the front there is a protrusion that is Finger like shaped Edited October 29, 2017 by zookeeperz Quote
PWA 1967 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Yes i have just read it Zoo although i have not looked before or at 1966 pennies. Maybe Dave will tell us ?. Quote

Maybe Dave will tell us ?. I never really read that far in to the later bronze issues even less so the decimals. Who would of thought there are 4 reverse types for 1971 2 pence. I guess I need to rethink on these such is the public's fascination with decimal coinage. Only takes a whiff of fake news and suddenly coins come from obscurity to fame and fortune Quote
zookeeperz Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 Found the punctuation differences on the 1967 pennies the round v oval saga Quote

Its the 9th plume back from the front tip the plume has a protrusion that is finger shaped. which way it is pointing i know not but I think it must come out of the plume and hang downwards kind of claw like. i'll recheck mine and see if there is one.

My eyes hurt I have looked at so many coins I don't even recognise my own currency any more lol Whilst your here would you cough up £20 for this. historical cleaning Quote
PWA 1967 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I only look at and focus on pennies so will leave that for the silver gang Quote

I don't mind the odd £10-£20 speculation from time to time. But £80 for a coin described as AU more closer to AEF . I am going to think long and hard on this 1. Big reward if it's ok but I have plenty of misfires already and I don't want a pricey 1 lols. What you think has a chance? Quote

Sorry smoke missed this post. See pic above in original post the colons I just picked The F: D: for simplicity left hand picture the colons are circular in formation whilst the colons on the second picture are oval in their formation or design. Both pictures were taken by myself from 2 coins from 1967 bank rolls at the same time one after the other all the distances are exactly the same Quote
