vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 09:44 am Hello Forum members, Ive got this farthing from 1836 UK mint. It looks like besides it is double strike of the letters. That the date especially the 3 digit is an 3 and an reverse 2. Does someone know more about this piece? Or is this just normal for this date?

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 9:04 pm It definitely looks like something is in the "3". I did some quick research and couldn't find any reference for an overdate Of course, that doesn't mean it's not one. There's definitely something in the date. It could be the cross-stroke of a 2?

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 12:16 am I think it's just wear on a normal coin. The middle "tooth" of the 3 typically touches or nearly touches the knob on the bottom loop. On coins with less wear this connecting area is thinner than here, but considering the heavy wear this is likely the case. The rest of the date appears flattened by wear as well.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 12:57 am These are soft copper coins, so I could see how wear or knocks might push around the metal. Edited by DVCollector 01/31/2014 01:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
