Paddy Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago The other pick up today was this 1874 Penny. I think it is 8+G making it F77, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong. The lines in the fields, particularly on the reverse, are confusing. My original thought was die-clash, but I can' make out which parts of the design they could represent. The coin is currently taking an Acetone bath to make sure it is not some glue residue! 1 Quote
terrysoldpennies Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago I'm sorry to say Paddy I think Its a 7+G . The outer Ribbon is too narrow and has a large gap between the two ribbons Ribbons on the 8 1 Quote
Paddy Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago ... and it turns out the lines were some kind of glue/varnish residue. Same coin after an acetone bath: 3 Quote

Part of me thinks if some idiot has £500 to throw away on this sort of rubbish, more fool them, but I do take the point that naive people might get burnt. Don' know what the solution is. Ebay aren't ever interested in reporting items like these... I wonder what Linda would make of this one. Perhaps missing waves......and lighthouse!! 1 3 Quote
