Coins4u Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 1861 halfpenny 1 over lower 1 in date? Can anyone please help me confirm this please? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 I'm going to move this until it becomes confirmed.Didn't we have this one before, and the general opinion was that it was a die fault rather than an underlying '1'? Or perhaps I'm thinking of another variety....No, it's in CCGB2007 already as 'reported on the forum'. Quote

I know there are people who question the definition of a variety, but these are all obviously from different dies or at different stages in the life of a die.This information obviously appeals to some collectors (myself included!!) and should therefore in my mind be investigated and recorded. I believe if Peck would have had the time he would have explored such variations, and comments in his publication confirm this, I know Colin Cooke always intended to do the same with farthings, but in all denominations it will be a massive undertaking.Thanks for sharing!!

An 1861 Half Penny, Obverse 6, Reverse F, unrecorded in Freeman, although acknowledged by Iain Dracott....Link to Thread Quote

Bronze & Copper Collector Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Anyone got any ideas of the value please ? It looks like an F-282 7 & G ... the most common of the 1861's, and damaged.... not too much value in it..... Quote
