1822 Farthing D Over D

Always difficult to tell for sure on worn coins but it certainly looks like there's some doubling going on there so it might be an interesting discovery.

G4F22. 1822 A Type Obverse D over D or doublets as there some times called obverse 2 with incuse midribs

G4F221. 1822 B Type Obverse D over D or doublets as there some times called, obverse 2 with incuse midribs

These are from http://www.farthingshalfpennyerrors...o/george-iv/

They do not mention reverse D over D. Maybe someone should submit it to them!

Hello all

Just to clarify both the 1822 Farthings on http://www.farthingshalfpennyerrors.com are both obverse 2 which is lower three leaves incurse, obverse 1 is lower three leaves raised.

Both examples have the same reverse ( DD ) but because the obverse dies are different though still obverse 2 with three incurse lower leaves they had to be called something ! hence type A, type B, does anyone have a type C.

Lastly ive hopefully uploaded page`s 4 & 5 out of a 1981 general coin book which list the terminology of doublets or triplets even.

I have a vast amount of books some going back to the late 19th century which I use for information.


The wisest words I can say to any collector is

! If You Have Never Heard Of It ! ! Doesn`t mean it don't exist !

Thank you
