absence of uniformity Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I dont have this Halfpenny coin to hand but noticed what looks to be possibly a thick flan would you agree or not? I appreciate its not so easy to be sure from the image provided. Quote
absence of uniformity Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago (edited) A worn penny is measuring 1mm thick, proportionally this halfpenny looks thick to me. I have measured the C in Victoria on a Halfpenny I have to hand using a vernier caliper the C seem's close to 2mm in height. Using the above image if I measure the C in Victoria then apply that to rim of the coin it appears similar thickness of roughly 2mm I know the image is on an angle which may change the accuracy of those measurments. It just looks thick to me. The halfpenny coins I have measure around 1.2- 1.3mm thick. The imaged coin is clearly thicker than that. What do you think?

absence of uniformity Posted 27 minutes ago Author Posted 27 minutes ago By measuring the top crossbar of the T on a coin I have to have it roughly 1.28-1.30mm if I measure the crossbar on the T on the above image then apply that measurement to the rim it suggest the Rim of the imaged coin is wider than 1.3mm.
