  NEWS !!          Early production error released to FAO in 1977??  
SEE WCN Note
 
          A collector has alerted me that in 1977, the Pobjoy Mint  released a small number of  1/2 Pennies struck
for the Isle of Mann, with a "PM" mintmark missing from the reverse. 
 (The " normal " coin has the mintmark on both sides.)

       A contemporary roary note in World Coin News  by A. E. Pobjoy  explained that  this was due to the striking
of  coins  with the initial pre-production setting up of dies prior  to the circulation mintage.

    Clearly, a "pre-production" batch of these pieces was released to the FAO MMP.
It is unclear if any of the "normal" pieces made it into the released collections.
