Both have a small 2 incomparison to the balance of the date though. Peck shows two (2) differant reverses on that farthing though. Rev A has incuse lines, and Rev B has raised lines. Rev A is VC in rarity, while Rev B is R in rarity. There is also a variety that has an I for a 1 in the date, it is also scarce.Bob C. Quote
josie Posted August 13, 2007 Author Posted August 13, 2007 Thanks try to upload it tommorow evening.B in britannia is quite worn and the left leg of X in REX is also worn other letters are not. so I dont expect things for its quite hard to look for varieties,well most of my coins are in good grade few in fine condition Quote

Colin G. Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Its in the image gallery will edit the album in future.Josie,This series is littered with repunched numerals/letters, and many of the dies appear to have been used even when showing considerable signs of wear/damage. I think this explains the faults you are seeing. Quote
josie Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 Its just a normal coin or occurance in this year or coin?could sent it to you to examine it if you like, still sorting my worn 1967 penny downwards, Quote
