Looks like the reverse was filled in to me. About ten oclock you can see a bit of the rim poking out.

 

This is the most unusual coin of mine I have a pic of handy.

old one

whats this coin no date

 

I think you're right. I posted this coin on the PCGS forum (http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&threadid=723808) and that seems to be the consensus there as well, and it makes more sense. Here are some close ups of the strike-through where you can tell a little better that it probably is string rather than wire.

 

The date is under the bust of Queen Victoria, but its worn off. It is a British Penny/Halfpenny/Farthing(depending on size). Minted between 1838 and, I think, 1860. I believe your is a Penny.

 

so without date its worth what

 

nothing, just a conversation piece.

 

These two are the most unusual coins I have found in a roll search. The frist one I though was painted but when you take a closer look is seem to be plated. I found three of them. How the second one will take the cake as the most unusual find. It speaks for itself!

Here's an interesting Connecticut I purchased sight-unseen from a friend:






It's a 1788 M3-B.1 and a R-5 variety but this one is also overstruck on a Nova Constellatio so it's even more rare. I've already emailed my friend with the news and told him it will be going back to him, with some others I have that are going to him, since this is one I know he will not want to sell.

Ps: My friend collects holed colonials and this was one he had 2 of and I'm trying to complete 1788 so he sold me two 1788's he had extras of and I guess he didn't notice it was an overtype. :goofer: The other 1788 is a M14.2-A.2.

 

This is a little different.

 

An 1817 BHC?

I wonder if the reverse has the common alteration I've seen on many (cannot post the alteration here)? :whistle:

I likes! :eat:

Hey I have one of those that you "cant" say what it is. :whistle:

Anyone know who the sculptor/designer was for this piece??

My guess is just the lighting, but I am curious what toad says.

 

I am pretty sure you are correct.
