<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pnightingale, post: 1243112, member: 32585&quot;]I found this in a bulk lot of British Pennys recently. As you can see the date is clearly rendered as 3913 instead of 1913.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]133162.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never seen this before, nor can I find any reference to it. Has anyone else owned, seen or even heard of this variety? Alternatively can anyone, especially US members recommend a dealer who may be interested?</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of observations, the initial &quot;3&quot; is different in form to the last digit. There is no evidence of &quot;sculpting&quot; the date from the surrounding metal and the color/patina is the same as the surrounding field which as far as I am aware are the two commonly performed checks for later alteration of a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Can I bring forward my retirement date by a few years?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
