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'.

1861 halfpenny 1 over lower 1 in date? Can anyone please help me confirm this please?

I know of an F-282 1 over lower 1........

several other 1/1's also, first 1, last 1, depends on the variety.....

I can post a list of what I have when I get in front of my desktop.....

These are the different 1/1's that I have.... I also have some 6/6's etc..... I can probably find images of these when I get the chance....

1861 1/1 F-276 6 & E First 1 over higher 1

1861 1/1 F-277 6 & G First 1 over higher 1

1861 1/1 F-279 7 & F Last 1 over Lower 1

1861 1/1 F-282 7 & G Last 1 over HIGHER 1

1861 1/1 F-282 7 & G Last 1 over LOWER 1

1861 1-1 F-282 7 & G 1 beside 2nd 1 (Specimen 1) Each of these are different

1861 1-1 F-282 7 & G 1 beside 2nd 1 (Specimen 2) Each of these are different

1861 1-1 F-282 7 & G 1 beside 2nd 1 (Specimen 3) Each of these are different

It continues to amaze me how much is unrecorded on coin varieties, considering the time periods involved. 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!!

These are consider minor varieties compared with something that I just posted in confirmed unrecorded varieties... An 1861 Half Penny, Obverse 6, Reverse F, unrecorded in Freeman, although acknowledged by Iain Dracott....
