1825 over 6 shilling it exists

Recommended Posts

Well hold me down and call me matilda :)

The debate that rages on and on about 1826/5 1825/6 is there one and which is it. Well hopefully I can shed some light to this argument. Seems it's my week for finding something :)

I will post a better pic once it lands on blighty shores. It is enroute as we speak. Clearly and unmistakably 1825 struck over 6

I have magnified it ,still dont see anything but a damaged 6 that resembles a 5 .I don't see the normal 5 shape in it , but it has all the characteristics of a 6

As Zookeeperz will know, I frequently disagree with the varieties proposed, but this one looks good even to me. Nice spot, look forward to your own photos.
