Is this an Open 3 or PM error????

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

What is your feelings on this. Is it an Open 3 or a post mint error to the top of the 3? I notice the bottom of the 3 looks standard to me.

Looking forward to your thoughts

I am fairly confident it is NOT an Open 3 just it is listed as one and there is definately something going on with the top of the 3.

********* Sorry I had to use the reply to add this. Have tried to update the above post but for some reason I can't edit my post************

Strange top to the 3 but, like you say, definitely not an open 3.

Also you should be able to edit up to 2 hours after your post, can you still not?

No, the base of the three in your example is too rounded. With an open three the base is flatter.

Hi Matt,

No all I can do at the moment is "Quote" myself after I have left the initial post and moved onto another part of the forum, coming back to the post no Edit feature comes up.

Cheers

Not an open 3, when it is compared with known examples.
