Hi, Can I ask please; (I have tried myself to find the awnser without success) Can anyone please confirm whether any other obverses show the die flaw shown in the attached image in the halfpenny series?

I have taken the image from @secret santa website, thanks again for this great source of info.

I found a halfpenny which I think is 5+G die paring the coin also appears to show 1st 1 over 1.

5+G is listed as R16 but I cant find reference to this pairing showing the 1st 1 over 1.

The coin looks to be in ok condition, slightly rarer pairing with the added bonus of the 1st 1 over 1.

 

Thanks.

Here is the coin in question; 

The die flaw leads me to beleive its Obverse 5.

The only two reverse options for a obv5 coin is E or G and the lighthouse does not match that of a Reverse E.

The images show the flaw on the forehead and the lighthouse of Reverse G and the 1st 1 over 1.
