Balboa New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 12/15/2017 3:04 pm Hello! I have a coin I would love to learn a little bit more about. The first image is a normal date for this token. This second image is my token, and the "18" from 1815 appears to actually be a "13" of a different typeface. Is this a new variety? What is the name for this type of coin if it is not a known variety? Would this typically have a higher or lower value? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 12/15/2017 11:11 pm The Miles White half penny is not as common as say, Dragon Slayers or Nova Scotia / New Brunswick issues, and yours is typical of the condition when they are found. I think if your pictures were as clear as the example you show a lot more could be determined. My bet would be either corrosion (as mentioned by Doug) or perhaps the 8 was impacted ( PMD) at some point. There is also the chance that it was struck with a partially filled die, but being so worn I doubt it would bring a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
