Wow not a broadstrike. Multiple strike slightly rotated. Never seen this on a halfpenny.  edit: hillarious it's autochanged my O-M-G no hyphens to Wow. Edited by the-purple-penny

Very neat! Did you find it in a lot or buy it on its own?

You should be very happy, I think they are ultra rare and not many people recognise them. Readers of this thread will now be wiser!
So if it's diameter is wider than normal it's been struck in the collar and another (or many times) out of the collar hence the spreading of the denticles. What does the edge view show you? The sixpence above shows at least 3-4 strikings and each time it's rotated every so slightly giving the letters that distinctive scrawny look.

Very nice find. Only the third one of these that we are aware of.

Here's the shilling we have the same. We're thinking we'll write a CAB aricle about these errors, well we sort of have one half written but haven't got back onto it.   Edited by the-purple-penny

Purple penny; love your '46 shilling and can't wait for the CAB article.
When I saw the angled denticles on the shilling I realised that I had seen that same error in other coins. Now I'll have to recheck my collection for this (not easy when you have over 100,000 coins).
