Penny washer?

The OCD part of me is annoyed that

B: The Queens head is upside down.

How do you know it's not the picture up the wrong way?

As a republican I used to get a sneaky pleasure from putting the Queen's head in a gearbox......I'm running for cover.....!

In my early teens I used to use a hand stamp to hammer an X over the erroneous number II on all coins that passed through my hands....I grew out of it....eventually.

I've seen 1p and 5p pieces used to blank off burst discs fitted to big water jetters rather than keep fitting the correct ones and correcting the problem. Costs a lot more to put a jetter right than the cheap penny fix

Does tend to distort them though

wouldn't like to be in the vicinity, if that lets go....

aye sometimes cheap fixes cost a fortune.

Is that pic from a 'rogues gallery' of poor fixes, or a job you're currently near/on?

And, although it might just be the pic angle, that connection below the coin looks to be cross threaded.....?

I use 1p pieces for waxstat conversions on SU carburetors. Used completely in tact tho.

Penny? Surely that's threepence!

The portcullis design would indicate it is, but there looks to be more room to the edge of the coin than there is on a 3d bit .......

Picture was taken in 2015 as proof that the operators of the machine were not using the correct burst discs and that it was resulting in the numerous repairs. Definitely a 1p, just a little stretched as it had approx 275 bar or a little higher behind it. None of the connections are cross threaded just poor picture compensation on my part
