darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 05:37 am Sorry sap but with all due respect I have to say there are definite differences and not ones that any amount of PMD or post mint fabrication or massaging could possibly produce. I am prepared to stake my credibility and reputation on that. Report this Post to the Staff
darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 05:54 am Here is the same effigy without any damage sap, it doesn't negate the weak strike component of your theory of course and I don't dispute this could account for some of the difference. Not enough though in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 06:24 am Yeah looking at that the distance between the B and top of the head look different, and the beard might be pointing in a different direction. Report this Post to the Staff
darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 06:41 am I believe the effigy on the left is the same one that is on the 1910 Australian florin designed by George de Saules. Report this Post to the Staff
Kevin Beach New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 2:36 pm I suggest that the difference in the images is caused by distortions on the coin that was in the vice. If the pressure was great enough to superimpose images from other coins onto it, then it is likely to have been enough to make the flan spread too. Report this Post to the Staff
darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 10:36 pm Hi! Kevin I posted a picture of an undamaged coin with the same effigy in the 2nd post on this second page. Cheers, darge. Report this Post to the Staff

Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 4:46 pm It's not my area darge, but I have noted that for a couple of coins I was interested in the Museum Victoria got obverses and reverses of a couple of coins mixed up. I wonder if your example coin mightn't be a different date (or even denomination) from your halfpenny? I believe the penny for example did change in design during the reign. Obviously, just an idea.

The damage sticks out like a red flag. LOL It's a penny not a half penny. The impressed coin was a half penny. When exactly did UK coinage cease to be legal tender in Australia? Presumably since the introduction of the 1911 penny there was a period when both circulated?
