Hi, I wondered if anyone had any example of single digit date repairs for the 1961 - 67 Pennies for example a repair only on the 9 or 6 ? I seem to be only finding doubling. Just starting 1967 and have two different examples. Both reverses of which have slightly doubling on Britannia on the wrist of the hand holding the trident and the lower arm of the hand holding the shield. Best Regards

Quite a slog going through QEII Pennies for the first time after finishing work Then looking more closely at an otherwise a mundane circulated example of a 1964 Penny, I find all of date is doubled Best Regards (I'll do a few more)

Another possible missing waves, this time 1963

Many thanks Richard, So that might be missing waves . And this one I'm assuming is just damage to an 1964 Penny, as I have a ghostly figure next to the lighthouse

Partly Missing Waves 1966 ? Thought I'd work though 1961 - 67 pennies , part way through sorting into years, noticed this 1966 might have some waves missing on the left hand side (but not "missing waves") Best Regards

Pennies 1905 smaller zero's and 1896 damaged die ? For fun I bought the other week 9kg of circulated pennies at auction. They were probably in some kind of order when the auction house kindly put them in the box, but having been shaken about by Parcelforce, they ended up well shuffled. Just started wading through and I've pulled out a few for a closer look There appear to be two 1905's pennies with the smaller zeros (normally I don't find any) and an 1896 penny which initially I thought was damage, but now assume was a die problem. It looks like someone has put some extra bronze on top of some of the C and T in Victoria and a bit in Dei

Rather less interesting - another possible 1905 with a small 0

Many thanks for looking Peckris 2

1891 Penny Queen Victoria Images from three of my 1891 Pennies. Photographed them as best I could identically. Looking at the last images the nostril seems to be shaped slightly differently. Is it just toning or wear ? Or are they simply all the same Great to get your thoughts Best Regards

1891 Penny - bit of grease or something partly blocking the end of the tail of the 9 and some of the feathers on Britannia's helmet I've compared three examples and wondered if there has been some adjustments to QV's face or whether its just wear / toning (I'll post elsewhere) Best Regards

1860 Penny D + d Hi, I bought this 1860 Penny recently, think its a D + d, with die clashes I assume, but wondered if it was one of the micro varieties of + d's that Paul Holland found Great to get your expert thoughts Best Regards P.S. there is an extra couple of lines on the shield , well out of alignment, which I originally took to be a scratch in the auction photo, which I assume is related to die clashing

This was one of the Copper Halfpennies I added a 9 over 8

I did buy several copper halfpenny overdates from Bucks coins but not the 1* + A

Forgot to attach the 1861 picture ! Would be great to see a better example - if that indeed is what it is

Apologies, I can't remember whether I have shared this one before - I think it is a 1861 Farthing with 1 over 1st 1 . There is a gap in the exegue line for "something"
