      I have a couple of copies in the "Archive". I remember having brief email contact with Roger Keenan (I think) but it was 20+ years ago and I no longer have any details.

      Welcome @perry123986cook to the forum. 2008 was the year of the change over from the portcullis design to the broken shield issue. See https://www.royalmint.com/collect/collector-resources/uk-coin-mintage-figures/1p-mintage-figures/ for the figures - about 180 million of this design and another 507 million of the new one. So sadly not scarce or an error!

      Commonwealth half penny.

      Has anyone come across the half penny having six strings to the harp.  I believe it should only have five, the strings are also very thick possibly a double strike but looking at the rest of the harp I’m not so sure.

      Theories as to what's happened with this penny?

      By jelida · Posted

      It’s almost unbelievable that the BNS allowed unchallenged publication of this blog which I feel  is a mass of A.I. pseudoscience and unproven ‘evidence’ from which unjustifiable conclusions are presented as fact! Will they publish my learned study demonstrating that pixies have set up a mint at the bottom of my garden? A.I. has found lots of photographic evidence, and Donald Trump says it’s the ‘greatest numismatic discovery ever’ apart from when he found his face on a gold dollar! (Obviously Trump didn’t actually use the word ‘numismatic’, I think that was posted by Harp). Jerry
