Colin G informe me this could be a case of 'die doubling' as the doubling effect appears not only on the 82 but also in other areas. Is this likely to realise a good price given the condition of the coin, what sort of calue could be put on this? Thanks Russ777

So would this be of interest to collectors as regards any value??? Regards Russ777

I have a circulated 1982 twenty pence which seems to have a double 82 of 1982. What could this be? Has this been recorded before? I was thinking it was just excess metal but the shapes appear too round.. The coin is quite worn having been in circulation so I don't know if this happens as the top metal wears down?? Unfortunately it does not appear very well in scan so I have not included a pic. But can be seen under magnifier the other 8and two is to the right and appears less raised. Any idea guys??? Russ777

Scott here is a pic of mine: My error seems to effect the 82 and the edge of right leaf and edge of pattern to the right around rose. I wonder if yours is similar??? Could you post a pic. I have posted this on the other forum too to see if senior members can give advice... I suppose there may be more around in better condition... Took me ages to get this pic in close up then blow up in Photobucket! Russ777

Thanks Rob at least you can see what I mean above the I in the rim of DEI there also appears a '5' shape It just seems very neat where it is placed Russ777

if you left click on the part view pic it brings it up slightly better, looking at the rim below by D on outer edge looks like a 7 numeral

Well it might be my vivid imagination but if you look at first scan it looks like a numeral '7' in the rim just below the D of 'DEI' its small but can you see what I am on about now??? Russ777

Heres the whole coin in case I missed anything. Maybe tampered with or in production? Some areas of coin very clear

Hi heres a close up pic. Could not post last night as too dull. Where we are lookinhg is just above the DEI on heads side I thought it might just be a ding but the one that looks like a '7' got me...

To add the numbers are sideways on reading down rhe edge of coin not perpendicular to the Queens head. Probably another case of seeing marks/things that are not there But fascinating it does look like a '7' Russ777

Posted this on one of the other parts of forum also. I have a 1944 one penny KGVI that appears to have a shadow of a Y edge of coin dots but no other letter I can see. I thought it might have been caused by another coin/die pressing into the coin but unsure if this could be during manufacturing or after. Could this easily have occurred if two coins pressing together, but equally could that have happened in manufacturing stage after being set if teo coins got pressed together somehow??? I am aware that coins can have letters stamped into them by hand for example someones initials but this is obviously the imprint of another coin on top. I am thinking maybe a newer coin with a harder edge may have made this impression but I am unsure.The coin is slightly worn with a dent on one edge which could be in manufacturing... Please see the scan and let me know. I have seen 100s of pennies and never this before I am sure dealers/Specialists will know! Still an interesting topic though Thanks Russ777

I cant see why anyone would want to add the 1 in georgius unless a letter had worn out or somehow the I droped down and the 1 was replaced in die?

Yes odd that the 1 shape is almost alligned to the imprint where the Y imprint appears on reverse could someone have been trying to correct an error die with the 1 in Georgius thus the coin was supposed to be wasted??? Or maybe in removing the coin that was stuck down??? Russ777

Hussulo more people are saying it is a brockage error if you say its building up of grime and the letter drops then why also the dots from edge of coin, coin edge and only a bit of the letter N of Penny next to it??? It is not just the Y incuse... Regards Russ777

You say compare the IV '1' with the 1 in date but that one is much smaller so a little confused here?? Russ777

the 'I' in Georgius does appear like a '1' and extends a little further but I had a simialr thing on a victorian coin I posted on this forum and many people thought it was just a bit of metal causing the top of I to look like numeral '1' Also it is where the bump is but it does appear a bit longer than the G next to it. I would want a pretty penny for the coin what do you think my chances are and the best way to describe it? I would be very disappointed if it fetched only 99p! Russ777

Interesting this came in a big box of coins I bought (mostly foreign) I do notice that there is a slight dip where the VI is on OBV and the I appears like a number 1 at top but I think that is probably as it is flattened and the top of serif may be stretched out. I dont know if a 1 could have been used intead of an I ? Here's a pic So what makes you think there are more??? Have these manufacturing flaws been recorded on the 1944 before? I was thinking of contacting Spink or would they just laugh in my face?? Regards Russ777 That's definitely a "1" - see how its base extends further into the field than the letters? Compare its size with the 1 in the date - they should tally. So would the '1' be an extra die error or would it be part of the brocage error??? How much more interesting does this amke this??? Thanks Russ7777

I can just see the Edge of the N of PENNY next to the Y at right so does all that tally that the writing would be reverse???

Before I post the picture I would like to know are there any recorded varieties for the KGVI 1944 Penny?? I have a one penny and the Y is imprinted below like a shadow as if impressed into the metal rather than a doubling of the Y. Just below the Y of penny You can also see some of the dots of the outer penny similarly impressed. No other letters or features seem doubled and impressed. Could this just be the case of another Penny being on top the coin in production or fowl play??? If anyone has seen this before (shadowing of lettering impressed into the coin) then that will clear this up. Thanks Russ777
