absence of uniformity Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 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. Quote
absence of uniformity Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago 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. Quote
absence of uniformity Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago On the LCA website I just found an example of 5+G that appears to show the 1st 1 over 1, but the coin was not listed as such. Of the 51 to 100 known surviving specimens that is potentialy two of this minor die variety that exist. Quote
