1826 Shilling with Roman 1

Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen an 1826 Shilling with a Roman 1? It is listed in Coincraft but I have never seen one or a picture of one before. I know coincraft has a few errors and I was wondering if this was an error also?

A picture would be great if anyone does have one.

Not seen an 1826, only an 1825 for which the R7 rating in ESC is silly on this score as I've seen more than half a dozen of the 1 or 2 known. Could be an error, but bearing in mind that the last digit was may have been entered at a later stage, it is possible that unfinished 182 dies with a Roman I were produced.

Thanks Rob, I have kept it penciled in as a 'possibly exists' variety.

I agree the 1825 is less rare as the books state. I was the underbidder on the first one I encountered and was pretty p'd when I lost out, but I bought the next one I seen and have seen a few more since.

Dave Craddock had one on his list in 2003 or 2004(?) as BU for £2300. It had gone by the time I enquired, but suggests there is at least one in good grade.

Sounds like it would be a repunched 1 with the punch upside down.
