Does this help clarify!?

Agreed, however tell that to whoever bought the 1934 from the Workman collection for £500

If your not sure .....and the coin is not scarce leave it. However if its a copper penny and i have about fifteen in the sale ......put a good few quid on

Looks like the same person

Cheer Rob, that's much more helpful than Nordle. To me then, a curiosity, but not something I'd consider spending lots of cash on. As usual though, one question begets another (and I realise I'm taking the thread off-topic somewhat, sorry) - I didn't know about early and late Soho issues. How would one know which was which please? Cheers, Jon

A coin struck by W J Taylor using dies acquired at the sale of the Soho Mint inventory in 1848 which he subsequently used struck in the period 1862 - 1885, frequently muling to produce previously unknown combinations. For many years these were pooh-poohed, but in the last 40 years have become accepted and now sell for sums approaching those realised for true Soho products. Some coins such as the nude Britannias only exist because of his activities, the die being acquired in the unhardened state in 1848. This term is used to differentiate the coins from those struck at Soho, which are themselves divided into early and late. The former being contemporary with the date on the coin, the latter struck at Soho using the same dies but at a later date.

Struck, then struck again

Yes not much in the way of pennies. Maybe got spoiled for choice in the last one
