GB. A wrong'un for a change. Anne 1713 pattern farthing (Peck 732), double struck off-centre and flipped between strikes with Anne's head dated 1713 and the shield with hair ties, all topped off with a flan crack because Newton was obsessed with using pure copper which proved to be too brittle for use.

 

Amazing. I lived in Bury St Edmunds for 31 years
