It is a 4+C - extra leaf in third group down.

Thank you Martin that's perfect. I'll just remove the question mark !

Hi

This is my first 1 over 1 for 1861. It may have been repaired by the same person that repaired Richards 1 over 1

They are very similar. This is 6 + E and Richards is an E reverse

The difference being Richards 1 leans to the left while this is straight

Best Regards

Hi

I think I might have an 1874 H 10 + J and an 1874 H 10 + J2 (the obverses look different but I suspect its just wear)

The 1874 H 10 + J is missing some of the waves under the light house AND on looking closely at the 8 in the date, its an 8 over an slightly lower 8 which was to the right.

 Great to get your thoughts as always

Best Regards

And checking my tray I also found this one - seems to be a bump on QV's forehead - this is London 1874 Halfpenny

Did a forum member win the 1860 today?

Can you post a link, Bob?

[The Bee]

Apologies,

I can't remember whether I have shared this one before - I think it is a 1861 Farthing with 1 over 1st 1 . There is a gap in the exegue line for "something"

Forgot to attach the 1861 picture ! Would be great to see a better example - if that indeed is what it is

Short answer. No. Never understood how to do them.

1860 halfpenny. Ended yesterday afternoon / evening on eBay. Sold for £181 by Bucks coins.

1* + A.

It's just copy and paste, nothing more complicated than that.

I did buy several copper halfpenny overdates from Bucks coins but not the 1* + A

That's a different language to me Chris.

Besides, I do all this on an android phone. I understand the 3 linked circles. On pressing that, it brings up a couple of apps. If I press the more apps option, it brings up my contacts.

How I get it to bring up the reply section, on the half penny thread, on the pre-decimal site, I've no idea. 

Luckily, I don't need to do it that often.

That's the one.

This was one of the Copper Halfpennies I added a 9 over 8

Hi,

Wondered if anyone could help with a query

Looking again at my 1865/3

Is it the large 3 or small 3 ?

Best Regards

[Peckris 2]

I've never heard of anyone differentiating between types of 1865/3 - have you ever found a seller who does?

[secret santa]

Iain Dracott records both types.

[PWA 1967]

This is a clear picture of what i believe to be a LARGE 3 i had recently.

Edited December 6, 2025 by PWA 1967

[Martinminerva]

Yep - both types of 3 exist overdated, and yes, Bee's is a small 3 and Pete's is a large 3. Think they are about the same rarity.

[The Bee]

Many thanks for confirming Martin, I'll have to keep a look out for a large 3 (thanks for the picture Pete)
