The 1812 British Naval Halppenny [sic], featuring Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson and (presumably) the ship, HMS Victory, that he commanded in the notorious naval Battle of Trafalgar, is an "anonymous" token, meaning the issuer is unknown... Very interesting!  |

Always wanted one but was never prepared to pay the over inflated market prices for one. I think its around 2008 when a wrong obverse was paired with the correct reverse causing an undated mule . The old reverse had the date and the obverse was just plain . Then a design change to take the date off the reverse and put it on the queens portrait side. Somewhere along the way the old obverse without a date was paired with the new reverse also now undated and voila a mule was born. It was the first time in 300 years an undated coin was released in to circulation. Not overly rare scarce at best but it was for no money so I bit the hand that offered it as you do  Sorry pics are garbage my scope has real trouble with modern coins as their details are so shallow   |

Didn't even remember ordering this little gem . Again poached from foreign shores a much scarcer 1932 George V Bronze Penny Fully UNC with super mint bloom sadly George V being of the hair follicley challenged brigade taking pictures of his portrait is hit or miss . reverse shows much better the coins quality.   |

This recently got picked up at auction. Not noted on the slab as the scarce variety with the P 2mm from the Trident, so flew under the radar...   |
