Penny reverse ID please.

Still practicing. Is this F24, 4+F? -
I have now. Still no 2016 though.

Appreciate you looking, thanks.

Please help, 2p with a new 1/2 penny strike error?
mrbadexample replied to 2pStrikeError's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No need to apologise, no one gets announced! But agree with VS, an exercise in milling - the ½p inserted into a recess in the 2p. -
That 1908 half crown's lovely. Sorry to hear of the circumstances leading to the sale.
-
At least the undated 20p is a genuinely unintentional mule and therefore of some numismatic interest.

Isn't the design above the third Peter Rabbit?

Gibraltar too I think.

Good grief, yes I'd like to swerve those please.

Another 1874H, also on ebay. Think this is F73 - OBV 7 REV H, but looks to me like Gouby rev ja which doesn't fit with F73 <scratches head> <removes splinters from fingernails>. Where have I gone wrong please? Is it Gouby j? -

What's with this one please Richard? I see the lump above the 7 but can't see how it fits with another 7? -
Hi PNMY, I did note that mine was a middle pointing (ESC 1951, no stop after REX). The detail on the edge is interesting. Please let us know your findings.

Thanks both. -
How can you tell if a coin has been "lacquered"?

Thanks, I've now got tea in my keyboard. -

I believe it was fairly common as a means of preservation / protection before we knew better. -

Pete might know better - he seems to have a good idea when something's been monkeyed about with. -

Maybe better in a new thread but I'll stay here for the moment. To continue my education....I have identified this ebay offering as F71, 7+G. Am I right please? -

Can't really help Mike other than to say I got a cartwheel 2d in an auction lot that I'm sure had been previously lacquered as there was a bit left on the edge. Came off ok with a bit of acetone. Is it worth looking at the edges to see if there's any trace? Probably more likely there than on the other surfaces. Looks like a nice enough piece to me though. -
I guess that shouldn't come as any great surprise DrP. It'll turn up. The day after my Kew, probably.

Surely this is a modern replica or forgery??
mrbadexample replied to Martinminerva's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Probably enough of us reported it. Perhaps ebay have a magic number. 10 reports won't do it, but maybe if it hits 50 they pull it. Who knows? -
Yes, ESC records the first leaf pointing to the right of the E, the upright of the E (as Paddy's above) or the middle of the E, like mine:
