I spoke to michael yesterday.Was going to close the shop and sorting out the stock last few weeks.Will be keeping the website and continue running a mail order business .Has just bought a considerable collection of pennies and has a lot to list as far as he told me.Always worth sending a mail as i have bought a few that were not listed on the site due to moving.
Struggling to tell from the pics ,however appears to be a die clash..If your sure its a 3 would be unique and very rare,not sure why it would be placed there though.
