Does anybody know if there is more then one version of Obverse 12? I have seen some with the R and I of BRITT joined and some separate (will post photos when I can find examples). Is this just normal variation in striking or a different die used for each? Craig

I had seen the reference in your book (I have the 2008 edition). Did you get a picture? I know the damage is small, but something like this? All of the lettering appears to be in the right place otherwise. Sorry about the picture quality, I've not got my camera with me so I had to abuse my webcam... I wouildn't call that an edge knock because there is one on either edge and they are joined by a little flat on the rim.

Hi Everyone, I'm new here (I signed up a while back but have been too busy to get involved until now). I was wondering if anybody has, or knows where I can find detail on the varieties of edge lettering on the 1951 Crown. While not specifically a collector of crowns, I was given a second example a few weeks back with the edge lettering "upside down" compared with my original. (ie, the lettering is the right way up when the coin is obverse down on one, reverse down on the other). I've checked ESC and there doesn't appear to be any distinction. Thanks, Craig
