1943i on larger blank

[Bigfellani5]

I have a 1943i 1/2d that is 26mm in size. A standard halfpenny is 25.5mm....has anyone come across anything like this and know what would have caused it?

Hi Shane,

Is it struck out of collar?  That could explain it being bigger.  What's the mass?

5.66g.....basically same weight as what a 1/2d should be

Are the rim beads weak?

hmm, maybe wrong planchet, but maybe it was struck out of collar and it squished out a bit, need pics

Out of collar perhaps or someone's squashed it.  We really need pics.

Looks the same as a standard 1/2d except slightly higher rims. Will try and do pics monday
