    I'd agree - the reverse is no better than GF, but the obverse (under the tarnish) looks better; it's not easy to tell but I'd say AVF?

    I remember switching from bags of pennies and halfpennies from banks to looking through brass 3ds. There was a 1949 in the first bag I looked through!

    Fair enough. If you're putting in 11 hours a day 24/7 then you absolutely deserve the good luck you've had. I couldn't / wouldn't do it myself but hats off to you.

    I would say that it's pretty clearly a clogged die. Has all the characteristics.
  5. Peckris 2
    I had thought the same - one great rarity would be very lucky, two would be incredible, more than two seems ... odd?
  6. Peckris 2
    Yes, picture please

    In my opinion the darker coin IS a recessed ear, the lustrous coin is a typical worn die strike - very common during WW1

    Those are estimates at best. Not sure what they're based on? Gouby estimates that the 1946 is rarer than the 26ME. And for example, although the combined mintage of 1918/19 Hs and KNs is known, the figures for H vs KN are only estimates.

    NOT correct, not for the USA where after independence in 1776 it wasn't a capital offence to produce and circulate evasions.

    I'd settle for that! Any idea what it went for?

    I've got one in average circulated condition but I want one EF or better.
  13. Peckris 2
    Thanks. I can JUST about make it out now you've told me, but perhaps you hammered guys are more used to knowing where to find it!

    Don't ignore that the original Reddit post was made by someone called Brexit-Cereal... !

    Having dismissed the H as an anomaly, I might have to revise my opinion as I saw the face of Jesus on my slice of toast this morning...

    It was thanks to Michael's footnote in that - about the 1946 ONE' penny being scarcer than the 1926ME - that I finally managed to get Spink to include it in their Standard Catalogue.

    You've better eyesight than me then! I was looking hard for just that but couldn't see it...
  18. Peckris 2
    I'd be happy to rate that EF (perhaps AEF on the obverse, just a trace of extra wear on the hair?)
  19. Peckris 2
    You're a day early...
  20. Peckris 2
    yes, back to normal
  21. Peckris 2
    Having .... the .... same ... problem .........

    On a relatively high grade penny like that, the H would show strongly. What you've got there is a ghostly anomaly, and I'd agree - no H
  23. Peckris 2
    There is some noticeable scuffing on the obverse, but even so I would estimate around £1500 (EF)

    The florin and shilling would still be with us if the Mint hadn't reduced the size in 1992 and 1990.
  25. Peckris 2
    That's very naughty. As you say, a modern replica 'aged'. It's not even a proper George V penny altered (e.g. 1935) which people are willing to pay up to £200 for in order to fill a gap.
