Help identifying an error coin 0

[Cookinwegaz83]

Hi I've been trying to identify an error coin that I have in my collection I've not seen another like it and I'm hoping someone could help. It's an 1862 farthing with a forked tail on the 6 all help would be great.

Is this a new found error and if so how could I register it thanks for looking

Welcome to the Forum! I cannot answer your question but the "split end" certainly looks interesting. I expect that other members will be able to help you in due course.

The forked 6 is known but couldn't find much on it.

Thanks Oldhoopster quite a lot of variation to the forked tailed 6, I know I'm on the right forum now absolutely lovely coin it's a shame that it's not a registerd error, will be definitely posting more on here thanks again for all your help. 👍

Don't forget, beyond the US, there isn't much interest in errors

Your coin isn't an error, it's a variety.  In my very limited knowledge of 19th century British coins, there does appear to be an interest in the numerous die varieties.  I've heard of the predecimal.com being referenced as a resource for British coins.  You might want to post on their forum for more info.  And please post anything back here. I would like to learn more, but don't have the time to do the research (way too many coins of my own that need research)

Thanks for the info Oldhoopster will definitely try predecimal.com and will definitely repost back on here I'm pretty new to coin collecting so all the advice given to me will be 100% helpful thanks again Oldhoopster 👍

Thanks for the link. I was searching for it for my friend. He also wants to identify an error coin but he can't find how he can identify it. So, I am searching for a coin expert online and I am glad I have found this website. I would love to share that link with him and I hope it will help him. I am glad I was searching for a site online in which I can read reviews and found https://www.topwritersreview.com/reviews/affordablepapers/ website. As well as, I have also found your post link over there.
