Michael-Roo Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I haven't come across this error before.One for the penny people on here. Must be rare? Quote
jacinbox Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I thought it would be days before someone gave the right answer.It is not a c over G or anything like that. It is a clear VIG so possibly pretty rare indeed. Quote
jelida Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Excessively rare, perhaps unique!I agree it does not look like a repair, but if not there would have to have been an erroneous puncheon, from which the die was made, and before that an erroneous master, how likely is that?Is this coin yours? If so, can you get microscope close-ups? (I am assuming that it is not photoshopped)What a super find!Jerry Quote
Bernie Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Wonderful, if genuine. I have never seen or heard of this error before. Let the forum know if it is genuine please. Quote
jacinbox Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Coin is genuine but it has been cleaned.http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=15ojd5j&s=8#.VczW5PnfCww Quote
jelida Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Aha, found where you got it, and he took your best offer!I'm glad you got a bargain from this seller, he's usually extortionately priced, as this one would have been were it a normal '62.Well done indeed, get some proper close-ups when it arrives, my own feeling is that it has to be a repair, rather than an error elsewhere in the die production chain, though that may be impossible to prove.Jerry Quote
Nordle11 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Nice, interested in how this came about.. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Something is very unusual about this coin. Can you spot it?http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=29ynl8n&s=8#.VcyDdfnfCwwHat off mate ,would be nice if someone has another one so it can be a variety we can all look for.When you receive the penny please post a pic of the G.Pete.

PWA 1967 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Not much from me bought an 1866 Ms 65 off neil paisley and a F18 thats scarce in decent grade R13.One i have not put up is an 1868 i sent for slabbing.BP1868AbCGS 31955Also bought a 1918 H finest known but the picture as are most are garbage.Pete.

VickySilver Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Well, like to see the picture of the latter. I must say, as apparently do many others, that such claims are rather hollow ("finest known"). I find the 19H is very hard to find well struck and nicely preserved - moreso than the 18H. Quote

PWA 1967 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Coinery i have chilled out.Apparently my claim was very hollow and was the same claim as many others,i should perhaps of mentioned cgs.Vicky can you please tell me were abouts you live as i am only stating cgs population report.Pete. Quote

I must say, as apparently do many others, that such claims are rather hollow ("finest known"). I find the 19H is very hard to find well struck and nicely preserved - moreso than the 18H.I am rather hollow and been looking at your previous posts regardless of MANY others you have picked on the wrong person.You have so much to say but never see you pass comment on being nice or pleasent just the negatives.I suggest you smile and start passing comments that have some value or nice,if not you will be looking at the forum with no one posting.Lots of people read/look at the forum everyday and the few that post make it interesting.I dont give a Flying fortress if you think i am hollow ,your comments have - wound me up.Apologies to other forum members.Pete.PS you have pressed the wrong button you cheeky Chappie.
