HELP PLEASE

[Rob]

Has anyone got a decent image of a 1765 penny? Thanks in advance.

Apologies due, cocked up here. I've just noticed there wasn't a 1765 penny with only the 2d, 3d & 4d struck. The original request was because my 1766 looks as if it is over a 5. So the question arises, was the die produced but never used. In that case any images of 1766 Maundy pennies would be appreciated to compare dies. Thanks.

It wouldn't be worth any more in cash terms as a variety for the same basic reasons as your half sovereign which is that there are insufficient collectors of the series with deep pockets. But a 6/5 would have a numismatic value as our knowledge base would be extended, i.e. the 1765 die was made but never used.

I've got one in EF Rob. Message me your e-mail again and I'll put it as an attachment.
