moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 732 Posts	Posted 04/25/2020 4:38 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 04/25/2020 5:09 pm 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.
