QUOTE (scott @ Nov 3 2009, 07:32 PM)  yea thats a nice thing, guessing its reasonably scarse then Well, you have a choice of three possibilities, all second bust. 1) E below bust (the middle one for rarity) 2) E * below bust (the least rare) 3) E * below bust "local dies" (the rarest) I believe I can just make out the faint traces of the * to the right of the E. Which means it's either the commonest one or the rarest one. Statistics will tell you that wishful thinking is the least likely outcome! - I'm betting it's the commonest, S3609. |

There's also a listing here : http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/index.php?pag...4df7e740a8206bd Sadly, their images haven't loaded, just the dreaded blue ? |
