absence of uniformity Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours 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 15 hours ago Author Posted 15 hours 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? Thanks Edited 14 hours ago by absence of uniformity Quote
absence of uniformity Posted 14 hours ago Author Posted 14 hours 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.

absence of uniformity Posted 13 hours ago Author Posted 13 hours ago (edited) The coin is 1874 H 10+J and I noticed this listed for 10+J : 1874H 10+J Thick flan R20 Edited 13 hours ago by absence of uniformity Quote
absence of uniformity Posted 13 hours ago Author Posted 13 hours ago (edited) I just seen on LCA website there is a 1874 H Thick flan coin rated R20 listed as 2mm thick... When comparing the imaged coin to the LCA example I cant see any differences in the die pairing. The imaged coins is in alot better condition than the LCA coin which sold for £600. They state a EF example sold for £3042. Edited 13 hours ago by absence of uniformity Quote

I appreciate its not so easy to be sure from the image provided. Just from this image alone would you not agree the flan thickness appears a similar width to the height to the C in Victoria? Quote
Coinery Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago No way you’re new to this, your language and approach is not elementary, it’s very weird! I know it’s not helpful or constructive to say this but I am really struggling, I can’t pitch you at all. 1 Quote

I know it’s not helpful or constructive to say this but I am really struggling, I can’t pitch you at all. What are you talking about ? I found a coin online for sale that is a 1874 H which I have identified as 10+J ( I could be wrong) And it would appear it has has a thick rim. I'm simply asking the forum for advice.............. I dont understand these assumptions/accusations what's it all about? what is the problem. I'm asking a genuine question to the forum looking for advice and thoughts on my theory I have put forward. What is so mind boggling to you about this? The questions is really simple. Yes I have used my brain in producing this question why is that so alarming? Tell me what is weird? What's not elementary? pitch me? explain to me what you are getting at Edited 1 hour ago by absence of uniformity Quote
absence of uniformity Posted 44 minutes ago Author Posted 44 minutes ago (edited) Why should I constantly have to prove myself. You bought no value to this discussion instead you suggest im being dishonest. Im really starting to find it rude. What is so hard to understand about asking a valid question? You have been quite supportive to my journey so far then suddenly you getting all weird. Edited 37 minutes ago by absence of uniformity Quote
absence of uniformity Posted 12 minutes ago Author Posted 12 minutes ago Do you resent me for putting in the legwork and finding the coins I have found? You cant sit back overlook the coins then to make yourself feel better about it by start chucking around accusations. I'm not weird for your shortcomings. Quote
