1826 NO LINE on Saltire, INVERTED die alignment

[Bronze & Copper Collector 414]

Hi all,

As you may have seen, I have started to dispose of my copper penny collection.

As I was listing the 1826 varieties, I noticed that the better condition of my two 1826 NO LINE on the saltire had an inverted die alignment as opposed to the normal die alignment ( coin alignment as in US coinage, as opposed to medal alignment as used in the UK).  Like the 1841 half penny inverted die alignment.

Is anyone familiar with this variety???

Thanks,
Gary

Do the marks on it match the attached? Die axis isn't accurately inverted.

To expand, here's another. 

From my notes.

1826 inverted die pennies with plain saltire (P1422 var) can be identified by a rim lump in front of the truncation tip by the stop on the obv and similar lumps by AR: and after DEF: on the reverse. My example is 18.77g.

 

They are all forgeries as they all appear to have identical “circulation” marks on the neck. The die axis is about 160 degrees and not 180.

Thanks Rob,

I'll check when I get home to see if the marks match. And will post an image for comparison.

Best Regards,

Gary
