1844 Half Farthing

[azda 979]

Yes i know i have an ongoing debate, but i spotted this and thought i'd open another can of worms, a fisherman can never have to many worms

Colin, i have'nt bought it, your territory is safe, i saw this and thought it looked strange. Ok, so what am i looking at? Well 1st of all, the A in VICTORIA looks smaller than the rest of the lettering, i'm posting 2 gallery pictures, OBV+REV and OBV enlarged. The 2nd thing was the T in BRITANNIAR seems to be missing the top serif. I've rotated the OBV picture, did you guess that already?

Over to the boffins.

Well my computer is palying silly buggers, so you'll just have to spin your heads like an owl

i can see the small A but just looks worn to me

i do not no much about coins so the T looks normal...

i have an 1844 Half Farthing... there nice (mine is gVF ) to look at.

A lot of the letters show signs of metal flow above, so it could just be a result of that effect, but the lettering on the fractionals is prone to a few missing bits here and there
