Okay, penny not halfpenny, missed that, I was going by the digit shape, Freeman 89, but the 6 is still double-thick at the base.

On the 1876H with the double 6; as I look at it again, it appears that a 6 was punched and then again a second time, but the punch had moved down slightly and left a bit showing at the top right. The bottom of the 6 looks to be much wider than the two shown on the 1876H wide and near dates, earlier in this thread. The second smack with the hammer left a second impression at the bottom where the two bottoms overlap (how cheeky!)

The more I look, the more I find. 4p 1838. All the letters of REGINA are doubled to the right. FD and the bottom 2 stops are doubled on the top.

How about an 1862 penny with an oval stop joined to the rim?

1 Penny 1876H - I have a narrow date with a double 6, showing to the right of the circle a ridge at the bottom.

That must be the 1914 mut- 8 -tion doubles that when you see a picture of it, it changes to 1920 !

Could someone please lead me to a site with a list of British coin varieties? I've seen Colin Cooke's name mentioned on this site (address?), or any other good ones that I should know about. Thanks.

Try putting it in penetrating oil (the kind that is used to loosen nuts from bolts), for 5 minutes, then use a toothbrush. The brush won't scratch copper. If it doesn't come off, try another 5 minutes. Sometimes when the rust comes off there may be some pitting underneath and if you soak it too long the colour will start to change. Don't try it on silver. -
I've now registered. My main interests are Canadian decimal coins, and Canadian Colonial tokens, but also like pre-1800 British coins. Here is a picture of the 1675 farthing with the R over O, and at the top of the photo is a 1673 farthing with a die break joining and going through the last O. (first time trying this so bear with me if I mess it up)
