twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 02/18/2010 12:26 am I picked this up in an estate here in the US. Is the doubling in the date normal? There is not a lot of interest in this type of coin here. I have about 58.00 US in it did I pay to much for it? Thanks for the help Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 02/18/2010 05:57 am that's a silver Maundy penny. Mintage was not high for that series in that era. Not many silver coins survive 183 years. I wouldn't want to pay much more than US$58 for one, but I don't think that that price is out of the ballpark. I paid US$90 for a threepence of 1820, after waiting for three years for one to come up. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 02/18/2010 07:13 am I just thought it was neat. I have an 1852 1 dollar gold that is not much bigger... boy is this thing (SMALL) Any idea if the date doubling is normal or if it is an over date? Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 02/18/2010 7:06 pm sorry, I don't know enough about these to say whether the doubling is common. However the mint runs were small, so I wouldn't be surprized if the dies were re-engraved, re-punched, or whatever, to get more life out of them. Two hundred years later, you'd instantly recognize the latest coins as being part of this series. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/18/2010 11:37 pm I don't see anything about date abnormalities. There's documented small head on Maundy 3d in 1822 after the 3d die broke and they used 2d punch instead. There's also misspelled BRITANNIAR (TRITA...) on 2d Maundy in 1825, but that's all I could find. Report this Post to the Staff
argentumandcoins Valued Member United Kingdom 60 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 05:11 am Re-punched date numerals on UK coins are very common. Rarities are usually limited to errors or overdates, but some overdates are common. It's a very complex area I'm afraid! As for price, if you were happy with the purchase the price was fine.
