1906 penny

[penguin]

Afternoon everyone! Your oppinions would be welcome please.

No missing colon. It looks like there is a faint pimple where the lower stop should be. Given the low grade of the coin it is almost inevitable that what was probably a weak feature in the first place can only degenerate further.

Either wear or a partially filled die. For some years (1920 for example) these are quite common and not generally considered collectible.

I will agree with Rob and Accumulator.

An extra comment: I will not pay a premium for an error that can be easily reproduced in my garage! A file, some sand paper and voila, colon disappeared.

Hi. I have a 06 penny with missing colons. Possibly wear.

Not sure Surrey******* could've sat calmly by for the best part of a year (as Danz has) without responding to the 'occasional' time the **** name has been taken in vain!

[scott]

or just 1906 was a horrible year for striking.

I think it was, yes, but that coin's been scrubbed!

[azda]

What was it described as Danz? UNC or so?

Some of his UNCs are worse

How do they get away with it.

[Peter]

and I thought he only sold shillings....oh is that the right word

[Rob]

Because people (like yourself) buy what's on offer. If nobody bought, the problem might just go away or at least reduce in volume. If 75% out of a bag of 100 pieces of crap sells for even £3-4 each, the chances are that represents a profit of a couple hundred quid. As a seller, that's a no brainer.

Ouch . I have been getting better and will only go for items with a good pic. I have also left neg FB if that badly over graded and the pic didn't highlight a prob.
