azda Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Been watching this for a week, not a brilliant coin i know and i almost surfed past it when a friend i was talking to (who's also into coins) noticed the REV of this, so take a looksy and see what you all think. The dot (or what looks to be one) is next to the E in ONE. Anyone seen this before? Quote

Anyone seen this before?Hi Az, Can you post a higher res picture of the E and Britannia's head? looks to be a similar dot on her cheek, so my gut reaction is crud/corrosionDavid Quote
azda Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 Hi David, unfortunately thats as good as it gets until it arrives in hand. Quote
£400 for a Penny ? Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 looks to be a similar dot on her cheek, so my gut reaction is crud/corrosionDavidAnd two more beneath her left arm on her chest..... Quote
azda Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 All will be revealed when it arrives i suppose, the dot next to the E looks larger than these others that have been spotted, so no idea. Quote

Got a couple more last night, 3 for my son and a 1944 for me, will upload now in coin aquisition Quote
Peckris Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Hm. I hate to sound a sour note here, but have you thought it might be dandruff from the seller? Just sayin' ... Quote
azda Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 Lol Peckris, thats the funniest thing EVER hahaha Quote
argentumandcoins Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Looks like a toning spot, or possibly an ejaculating lighthouse?If you're getting into dots now Dave I can send you a book with loads of them in. If you join them all together you get nice pictures to colour in and stick on your wall Quote

If you join them all together you get nice pictures to colour in and stick on your wall Lordy Personally, I don't think it's a dot as such. The metal might have a bump in it from the minting process, but it doesn't really look like an error to me. That said, another pic when Az has the coin in hand, wouldn't go amiss. Quote
azda Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 Lol, i never thought a coin would bring so much joy and laughter, so if we can focus a little ladies and look at it this way, if it is a dot and i didn't buy it i would have kicked myself, and if it is a dot, who will be laughing longer?If its not a dot, then no harm done as it only cost 3 pound and some pennies, so it wasn't a hardship to the pocket, so lets await on the coins arrival and see what we have then.

Your logic, unlike your coin, is flawless Quote
azda Posted October 2, 2010 Author Posted October 2, 2010 There was logic behind the purchase Peck (honest) Quote
Red Riley Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 There was logic behind the purchase Peck (honest) Personally I go with the dandruff hypothesis. Quote
