Halfpenny Errors

[Fordprefect]

sorry fordie
I get the dot but the slope has me9Slopin well ... you know the term ...

Did this one on one of Robsters post.
The Down stroke from P in penny points to Denticle
(Call it Denticle 1)
A straight line drawn at the back of 5 to the Denticles,
The white line Points to Denticle 2 (Sloping 5 alignment)
The Black line Points to Denticle 3 (Normal 5 alignment)

I got one of those.. It's a flat / tilted 5 though, with a fake die crack through the Y in penny

Don't think it's a "Fake Die Crack" more like a Die Fault.
(That happens to look like a crack :angel:)
Yours is a very nice example, this coin in High grade
is a very tough coin to get hold of.

1955 Halfpenny Y Spike
Old photo must re-do it :-:blush2:

I wonder if Fr45's 1955 Y halfp is a carbon streak rather then a die crack? maybe?

thanks anyways for the tutorial - so the fat slope one has the dot between the half & penny
I may need time to figure this one out!!

Yep, it is a carbon streak that looks exactly like the die crack heheh.
I was laughing at the coin when I got it because the photo was a scan, I could have sworn it looked like die crack through Y type.

I was very lucky to get my hands on this one (now in a pcgs ms64bn holder)

Blimey I think your right, the spiked "Y" doesn't have the
Dot between Half and Penny.
Young Rob, new image required. That was quick.
(Both coins are tough in grade)

All the examples I have feature that Dot.
That dosn't mean all Fat 5's slopes left do though!!!

To do it, you do have to image the coin then start your line drawing.
The Standard '55 looks exactly the same with a casual look.

Gee that's not bad Robster, the aus and 8 are about the only things that are done properly and maybe a couple of denticals..look like a FINE example, or maybe extra fine, sorry :mocking:

[robbiegal]

Some obverse stains but a sweet old classic 'ALF' denticle variety



forgot about this one too
