constanius Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 What a great buy. I would go with the 3rd 1893 Maundy 3 pence, with #2 a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholasz219 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hello Hiho, On that 1697 Farthing at the top, it appears that the 6 and 9 in the date are doubled. Does anyone know if that is common in coins from that era? Is it a value adder or just something common. It seems pretty sharply struck twice. Just curious.

hiho Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Good eyes Nicolas! I think that doubling and other errors were fairly common at the time before the minting process became more sophisticated and dependable. Interesting coin nevertheless.
