No missing colon. It looks like there is a faint pimple where the lower stop should be. Given the low grade of the coin it is almost inevitable that what was probably a weak feature in the first place can only degenerate further.

Either wear or a partially filled die. For some years (1920 for example) these are quite common and not generally considered collectible.

I will agree with Rob and Accumulator.

An extra comment: I will not pay a premium for an error that can be easily reproduced in my garage! A file, some sand paper and voila, colon disappeared.

Hi. I have a 06 penny with missing colons. Possibly wear.

Not sure Surrey******* could've sat calmly by for the best part of a year (as Danz has) without responding to the 'occasional' time the **** name has been taken in vain! :)

I think it was, yes, but that coin's been scrubbed!

Because people (like yourself) buy what's on offer. If nobody bought, the problem might just go away or at least reduce in volume. If 75% out of a bag of 100 pieces of crap sells for even £3-4 each, the chances are that represents a profit of a couple hundred quid. As a seller, that's a no brainer.
