Just received a package from an auction. Supposedly it is all farthing and half penny errors. After looking thru the farthings I couldn't see any of the see say of the errors they were talking about. But.... The first half penny was a different story. Definitely double but then again my eyes are not what they use to be.

Yes, William and Mary, but still lots of double strike evidence - most noticeably where the date appears twice on the reverse. Lots of other anomalies that would take some time to work out.
Nice example! Quite a few error combinations on copper coins around this time - yours is a striking error rather than a die variation.

Actually I think it you look closely, on top of Mary's head you can see a third head.
