ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 12/11/2011 12:14 pm I am new to coins of the UK, and I was looking at pictures of 1863 Half Pennies, to see if my specimen may differ...I found a RB MS63 to look at, and, noticed what I suppose is a "normal" obverse..my coin has 1 dot after D : G . instead of what I assume is a normal 2 dots. The MS63 has 2...what, if anything, does this pertain to? A die mistake, like struck-through issue? Also, I noticed minor Doubling on H, in HALF, and, both N N, in PENNY, is there a listed Doubled Die for this coin please? First pic is my specimen, with 1 dot...2nd is the online pic, with 2 dots Thanks Calvin Edited by ilikeikes 12/11/2011 12:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
