Rob Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 Does anyone have an Archbishop Lee halfpenny S2361/N1820. If they do and it is the E left, L right variety is the E reversed? Mine is but North doesn't mention any letter reversal. Thanks. Quote
Geordie582 Posted May 27, 2006 Posted May 27, 2006 Coincraft and Spinks have no reference to the reversed 'E' either. Maybe you have a new find? Quote
Rob Posted June 3, 2006 Author Posted June 3, 2006 Coincraft and Spinks have no reference to the reversed 'E' either. Maybe you have a new find? I've just found two other pictured examples and they also have a reversed E, so I guess this must be common or even normal. Quote
Rob Posted June 3, 2006 Author Posted June 3, 2006 Where did you get the pictures from?Auction catalogues Quote
Rob Posted June 5, 2006 Author Posted June 5, 2006 Funny they aren't in the standards? I suppose the next question is -"Does anyone have one of these with the E the correct way round?" Quote
Rob Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 Funny they aren't in the standards? I suppose the next question is -"Does anyone have one of these with the E the correct way round?"I do now. It appears that the E used is a closed one and before my latest acquisition, all the pieces I have seen physically or pictured had been struck from dies with the back of the E merged with the inner circle giving the appearance of a reversed E as the bar across the ends of the E is significantly thicker than any of the rest of the letter leading me to assume it was the back of the E. Faulty diagnosis -mea culpa. Quote
Geordie582 Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 An easy mistake to make. You are lucky to get one in that condition! Most I've come across are either well worn or half missing! Quote
