Your right they weren't as scarce as they seemed at the time, probable caused by hording, but now as they all come back out of the closet there's no great shortage

It looks like a 1+d , can it be, or is it a case of the wrong obverse picture placed with the reverse. Tony Clayton stated that one example has been found. Did you buy it Ian ???? -

No this is half the missing coin type. -
OOps that's my bugger up. anyway we collect the refined Milled, not that primitive Hammered stuff.

That's with unworn coins, I have a couple that are worn, and its very obvious as the ear is totally untouched with the rest of the head badly worn.

Yes your right Pete, but the same principal applies , It seems unlikely that a test die would be given a broken tooth for recognition, as at around this time increasing or decreasing the number of teeth was used, as with the 1908 164a and the 1911 hollow neck .
-
Bearing in mind that what we refer to as a broken tooth, is the result of a partial blockage of one of the tiny indentations around the edge of the die that form the teeth. its not unlikely that the hole started to block during 1915 then gradually built up, but during this period a small piece of the blockage may have broken away again, only to them build up again giving the variation in the size of the tooth, this may explain the out of sequence 1915 coin of Zoos

Hi Cliff, it does look like the example shown in Goubys book, I would suggest the cause my be die clash , hence its appearance on coins of differing years. -

Note also Richard, the D in F: D: points just to the left of the tooth on the D* [ 2* ] . -
Penny reverse ID please.
terrysoldpennies replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
An easy way to distinguish the obv. 2 from the 3 on most coins even when warn' is by the D in F: D: as on the 2 it points to the gap, and on the 3 it points to the tooth. -
Penny reverse ID please.
terrysoldpennies replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Its unlikely to be a 4 , the 4 has a very narrow rim , your one looks some what wider around the edge. -
