<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 263382, member: 66&quot;]It&#039;s North Wales not Anglesey, D&amp;H 1.&nbsp; De Orc has the mintage engraver and manufacturer correct.&nbsp; (That mintage is for all four die varieties of this type D&amp;H 1 - 4.&nbsp; That is die varieties not edge varieties.&nbsp; Since there is a common edge variety for each of those you can figure a roughly equal mintage of each so there were about 25,000 D&amp;H 1&#039;s struck.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These were not made for the Parys mine though, they were imitation pieces made for general circulation.&nbsp; In effect a contemporary counterfeit.&nbsp; The D&amp;H 1 comes with nine different edge varieties.&nbsp; Kempson and Lutwyche were just using whatever leftover planchets they had on hand.&nbsp; Value is going to vary widely depending on what the edge inscription is.&nbsp; The edge De Orc listed is the most common along with CURRENT EVERYWHERE.</p><p>A plain edge is scarce, and anything else is either Rare or Extremely Rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d say a common edge variety in that condition is probably an $18 to $25 coin retail.&nbsp; this one has that stain on the back that may hurt it a bit.&nbsp; I think the &quot;nick&quot; at the bottom of the Obv may be a planchet flaw and not damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
