<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3449735, member: 66"]Interesting images. Unfortunately I don't know what die making methods the royal mint was using at that time. i would be kind of surprised if they were not using die hubbing by that late a date, but the features on your coin definitely look like the result of repunching of lettering not hub doubling. When was this type introduced? I know a little before this time in the US, a new Master die of a new design used for creating working hubs would have the lettering punched in by hand. Then all the working hubs created from it. If that was the case in England you should find the other 1862 half pennys would show these same features.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
