    Hi guy's, a friend at work brought this odd looking 2 pence coin in to show me. I'm not really clued up on decimal coins so i thought i would put it to the forum. Anyway it's a 2 pence coin dated 1971 and silver in appearance. It doesn't look sprayed or painted, any ideas. And are these rare? sorry about the quality of the scans i took them at 3AM. Cheers lads and lasses for any info. Regards jim.

    Odd silver 2p coin 1971

    MACKSILKY. replied to MACKSILKY.'s topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Hi, guys, at last managed to get the two pence weighed. It weighed 7.2 grams. So is this a circulated nickel off metal strike? If so how common are they. cheers jim.

    Odd 1862 penny obverse ?

    MACKSILKY. replied to MACKSILKY.'s topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Another one chaps i've come across, this one a bit between mine and brians. Note the position of the die clash and the ribbons. This one also has a very weak low colon dot between F and D.

      Looks like a reverse D...

      Reverse F has other indicators to mark it also....
      Interestingly enough, when you see a reverse  F, you will know it for certain as it is so distinct. .
      Not home now  so I can't post any for you to see...

      Hi Jim  picture below of a   5-f .  Note the main on the helmet is broader , and the prominent rock where on the D type coin the signature would be. On this well worn coin it is quite distinct . If the rare type indicators are not there , I can't see it  being of any worth ,   Terry

    MACKSILKY. replied to MACKSILKY.'s topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Thanks guy's for the information on this penny. All the best to all for the new year. cheers jim

    Looking at the scan, yes it does look like the 3 is over a higher 3. Cheers bronze for pointing that out. Jim.
  19. MACKSILKY.
    Just a quick one guy's. I have no information or knowledge on George 11 coinage. This half penny appears to have a 7 over a higher 7 and not to sure what's going on with the 3. I do know of the 1737 7 over a lower 7 farthing which is supposed to be quite rare. The picture is not the best as scan is taken with ipad. Can anyone tell me if they have come across or know of a 7 over 7? Cheers Jim.

    Very interesting, been looking at a few 1882 H pennies of mine and come across this one. The H below the date appears to be unbarred. Can anyone tell me if they are common?
