Yes Pete I hurriedly read Santa's post , and I can see a difference , the size of the holes . The narrower one has both centre holes of a similar size , but with the wider date type the top hole is smaller than the bottom one. I cant personally see anything else .

Financially, maybe, but what about the loss of a scarce coin to the collecting community? You own a number of coins that are probably unique, some of which you've likely had your eye on for years. What if they were lost on the way to you from the auction house? You are refunded, as is the auction house. Has anyone lost out?

"At the end of the day, it is insured, so nobody loses out." Really? Over the last five years Royal Mail and their overseas confederates have lost somewhere in the region of £835 of my tracked/signed goods. Their reaction for on line auction sales was to ask for the ebay or equivalent link, proof of my original purchase (I've had some of this stuff for over 50 years) and try to pay me my opening bid price. i.e. 0.99p My actual financial recompense from the £835, has so far been £312, so it looks like these *&^%£$" are costing me £100 p.a.

Proof that there's one born every minute.
