Coins4u Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 I bought this farthing a few years ago and discovered that it has no stops on the reverse and as far as I can see it is not listed anywhere. I have searched for about a year and have not come accross any of this type. Quote
Rob Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 I bought this farthing a few years ago and discovered that it has no stops on the reverse and as far as I can see it is not listed anywhere. I have searched for about a year and have not come accross any of this type.It looks like a filled die. There appears to be a slightly raised lump at approximately the same distance as the gap between the inner foot serifs where they join the main verticals on the A on a level just above an extension of the crossbar of the A. Play about with the contrast and brightness of the image and it you can see it. Weak or missing stops due to die fill are common. Quote
