i have just acquired this 1964 penny, but as can clearly be seen, the date reads 964.I contacted "Rotographic" via email and submitted an image to them for any info.They replied offering to buy the coin for £20.00.needless to say, i refused their offer to sell.Has anyone got any like this or seen any like this?.I have looked in the 3 coin books I have and it is not listed in any of them.How rare could this be?

Nice!

Never seen one like this, probably a clogged die

I have a similar French 5c dated (1)900

The area where the one should be looks very uneven. Post mint damage I would suggest

It's not a smooth area around where the one should be, suggesting possible tooling by an individual at some point after it left the mint.

the french 5 centimes happened for 2 years and is listed

but that is very cool.

Agreed. The whole area to the left of the 9 looks grooved and as if possibly tooled. But if you were able to find a few more ... that would be evidence of a filled die and suddenly the coin would acquire rarity status. I speak from experience - I have a 1964 (coincidentally) sixpence where the I of GRATIA is totally missing. However no-one has found another, so - completely counter-intuitively - it has no interest or 'rarity' value, being "merely" unique!

So, let me get this straight. It's a 2009 £1 with missing letters, that's been overstruck on a 2008 £2 without missing letters but with a missing dot?

[scott]

no, that was seperate, hence the and
