Title: Funny Markings Question ?
Post by: accumulator on March 29, 2013, 03:08:32 PM

This is the obverse of a 59 halfpenny i recently acquired,any idea what the funny looking little marks are at the bottom of the Queens Bust/ Neck ?
They look almost like initials at first but that can't be,can it ?

Never realised there were initials.
I just looked at some of my own and I could just see the initials on two.
