Maundy Error coins now in hand

[azda]

Ok as stated a few days back, i bought 4 different Maundy coins and all seem to have errors on, i don't think all are listed for errors and there's a George II Maundy that has a 3 over 0 error, but on the OBV the first E in GEORGE looks to be over something also, i initially thought it was an H, see what you think of them all.

Feedback is always welcome, all pix are titled and have left in Hi Res for a good look, so a few posts. I'll do the George II as the first picture post

More George, just the OBV for grade

[azda]

And the REV error

[azda]

More George 1746 2d this time, OBV for grading

[azda]

And the 1746 REV date error

[azda]

And the REV of same for grading

[azda]

This is from a 1746 3d date error, not got a picture from the OBV REV as yet

[azda]

Next one, Chas II 1d, it says 69 over 70, but make of it what you will. OBV first from grade

[azda]

REV, not the close up yet, for grade

[azda]

And the REV date closeup, looks like a blob, dunno how anyone made 70 over 69 from this lol........Thats all folks!!!

First one loonks like E/R which would fit theoretically with someone starting GRATIA instead of GEORGIVS and then realising the mistake. However given the state of the die, it may be difficult to be sure without a clearer example, it could just be good old die breaks, appearing as something else, but i have to admit there does seem to be something under there

Definitely been dipped though

Lol @ Colin, lets stick to the undipped variety

I'm assuming these are all very small coins? Which would explain the lack of hair detail. In which case you could fairly confidently grade them all as EF (perhaps even slightly better in one or two cases? Hard to say without the coins in hand).

Yes Peck, they are quite small, 2 of them were graded as AUNC by the dealer i bought them from. These are very difficult to photograph, i took most of the pictures with the usb microscope but i'm going to make another attempt today for some better pictures

AUNC sounds fair enough

The E's in this period often have a thin line linking the serifs and I'v e often wondered if the die sinker put in a thin guide line prior to making up the letter from a few different punches. You see it from William 3rd onwards, so I'm not convinced it is an underlying letter because it occurs too frequently. The O is over an R however.
