Bernie Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 I believe that this penny is unlisted?? Quote
Peckris Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 I believe that this penny is unlisted?? Would it be classed as a misstrike rather than a deliberate variety, Bernie? Though it has to be said, an accidental rotation of exactly 180º does make you stop and think. Quote

Though it has to be said, an accidental rotation of exactly 180º does make you stop and think.That is a puzzler of a question !!! I don't know if it was possible to place a die the wrong way round in the press. Looking at the overall question of varieties, many blundered coins are considered a different variety, such as mules, overdates. Quote

I don't know if it was possible to place a die the wrong way round in the press. Looking at the overall question of varieties, many blundered coins are considered a different variety, such as mules, overdates. Hm, I'm not sure I agree about mules and overdates. The former is a genuine strike using dies that were deliberately (1926ME) or unintentionally (undated 20p) used together. The latter is a deliberate change to the date, even if the puncher got it wrong. However, grease or other material getting into the die, or a brockage, or something of that sort, is a totally random accident beyond the agency of a human being. That's how I would differentiate them anyway. The 'total random accident' coins just don't interest me at all as they are generally unique and therefore not worth chasing.That leaves your 1928 penny, which as you say is a genuine mystery, how the dies managed to rotate through 180º.

PWA 1967 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 What you on about Peck When i bought it Richard told me he had one and also the Workman one then mine. Think thats three so cant see any reason why there is not anymore. Quote

Because the obverse edge dink at 7 o'clock shows on the reverse at 11 o'clock, as it would if you rotated the coin through its vertical axis! Quote

Gary D Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 1928 must have been a bad year, I have one rotated by 330 degrees. Does that make it rarer than 180 degrees. Quote
