just.me Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Has anyone seen an 1826 Shilling with a Roman 1? It is listed in Coincraft but I have never seen one or a picture of one before. I know coincraft has a few errors and I was wondering if this was an error also? A picture would be great if anyone does have one. Quote

Could be an error, but bearing in mind that the last digit was may have been entered at a later stage, it is possible that unfinished 182 dies with a Roman I were produced. Quote

Thanks Rob, I have kept it penciled in as a 'possibly exists' variety. I agree the 1825 is less rare as the books state. I was the underbidder on the first one I encountered and was pretty p'd when I lost out, but I bought the next one I seen and have seen a few more since. Quote

It had gone by the time I enquired, but suggests there is at least one in good grade. Quote
TerryT Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Sounds like it would be a repunched 1 with the punch upside down. Quote
