1699 halfpenny no bar in A
TerryT replied to TerryT's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
"These dots are the centre points to help with engraving the dies." AHA ! Thanks, that makes sense. Didn't notice the dots on my other ones, since they are very worn, but after looking closer, I found it on one of them. -
1699 halfpenny no bar in A
TerryT replied to TerryT's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It probably has nothing really to do with the missing stop, but then again...... Under the kings ear, there is a raised dot about the size of a stop. On the reverse, on Britannia's stomach, exactly opposite to where the dot is under the ear, there is a depression with a raised area inside it. Possibly the stop on the die was clogged with metal, which eventually fell out, and these two marks are the result ???? -
A while ago, I inquired about the value of two 1699 halfpennies, type t2d, that have no stop after the date. I was disappointed to hear that they are worth about the same as the type with the stop (even though on a site by Tony Clayton the t2d in FINE condition is listed at 5 times the value of the one with the stop). I recently acquired another 1699 halfpenny without the stop, but this one also has no crossbars in the A's. Again from Tony Clayton's site, there is a listing for no crossbar A's, 1699b, but it appears by the placing of this listing, that it is for the type that has the date in the exergue. Is this right, or does it refer to the one with the date after Britannia ? Is there a designated number for a 1699, no stop, no crossbars, or is this combination unknown ? Yes, it has corrosion damage. I'm going to run out of kb's for photos, so I'll make a second post about the stop.

I have these 2 1699 halfpennies that I believe are type 2d - no stop after date. What would the value be for these two low grade ones ?

Edward ? hammered penny #2

Oh, would there be a class or type associated with this ? (THUMP) curtain falls -
Edward ? hammered penny #2
TerryT replied to TerryT's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Would that be Mr. Edward Punch 1, 2, or 3. Kind regards, Judy (smack) -
Another one that I would like identified please.

1868 sixpence with double pofile
TerryT posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Noticed that this one has a double profile, as well as VIC and DEI. I read a recent post about the die numbers on sixpence being to check for quality control; I think Little Willie, who was responsible for die #10, was let go after this one. -
H over small H ? Sure doesn't look like a simple recut.

Colin, a bunch of photos have been emailed.

So would all the coins this size be pennies even though the weight of the ones I have vary from 1.05 grams to 1.25 grams ?

3 views of the 6.

Finally got a camera that can zoom in close enough to show them. Photos of the 6 in next post.

1929 farthing with clear doubling of the date, and first and last letters of FARTHING.

Have about 10 to eventually ask about. Any extra information greatly appreciated. I would like to be able to clearly identify all of them before selling the extras to buy more coins. Which Edward is this ? What denomination ? 20mm., weight is 1.10 gms. but would be 1.20/1.25 with the missing piece. London mint.
