    uk 5 new pence

    hi, i have in my posesion a a 1970 5 new pence, Iv`e done a bit of research on it, looks like what they call a trial strike. Struck in 1970 (remember we did not go decimal untill 1971) There is a very faint image of Queen Elizibeth 11 and the date On one side. On the other side is clear image of the 5 new pence And thistle with crown aloft. Another interesting feature is that the blank may have been too thin, this has caused the outer beaded ring to be pushed inwards. Can anyone tell me about it.
  2. hi, can anyone please put an exact date on this coin 10 sen (10 cents) is it 1936 1938 or 1939. Thank you. Ray.

    Or, it could be a serious misstrike. Yes, the diameter is crucial, as the design looks as though it's been struck on a larger flan, but this would only be clear once we knew how it compares to a kosher 5p of the day. The overall appearance is of a coin that's been machined in some way. It does look weird. Hi, it is 25mm in diameter, just got hold of 1970 5 new pence to compare it. it is only 22mm in diameter so it could be the crushed idea. Thank you for your input. Ray.

    Hi, the diameter is 25mm, i just got hold of a 1970 5 new pence to compare it. It is only 22mm diameter. The idea that it has bean crushed is looking likely. I`le try to upload image. Thank you for your input.
