Thanks Richard. I was hoping it was a 3b but the drapery looks a bit odd!

I’m no expert by any means , just had a quick look in withers . Your coin seems to fit the bill

I’d say 3b. Although we can’t clearly see the detail at the ends of the collar on your coin, the profile of the collar on 3a is much flatter and wider, and of course goes around the back of the neck, whereas the 3b is far more deeply curved, and obviously shorter.

I wonder how many 3a collar punches there may have been?

Hi Stu, yes, I wonder how many 3a punches there were? Perhaps that's a project for the future...

Anyway, the coin arrived today and I've tried to take some photos for a clearer look at the neck and drapery. Im not the worlds best photographer, but what's your opinion of the coin? Is it a 3b? 🙂
