BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 3:44 pm I do need help with this 1775 English halfpenny error! The King's incuse image appears, reversed, under the normally struck image of a seated woman. (The back of his head and his hair ribbon can be easily seen). Is the incuse image under the coin's struck reverse due to a Die Clash, or was an Obverse Brockage's incuse side overstruck with a reverse Die? Thanks for your help, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 5:25 pm The normal date appears below seated Britannia, which puts it, of course, over the incuse King's head. No other sign of a date, which makes sense in either case (clash or brockage). Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4916 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 7:50 pm Nope, this is IMO a strong die clash, too sharp to be the above mentioned. I call it a clash because there are design elements in the deepest parts. Feel free to call me Will. Edited by thedollarman 08/09/2015 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
