Any ireland predecimal ireland variety collector here?

[AardHawk]

Josie, checked the six that I have, and they are all the same even lettering. Not that I understand what it says.

[josie]

Dont have the picture yet.

Others can aligned the I in Irie the following letters are different spacing for each coin.

Thier are 2 spacing seen in dunloagrie last antique show same number or ratio, just got the wide spacing for I, got 3 close spacing in words

The other one is close letters along word before amacc if not mistaken only seen this in close spacing not seen in wide,so no coins to compare on wide spacing on words after amacc, the dealer is selling it for 20 euro short in budget.

latter found out compare at home that spacing on the edge varies.

On the 1968 penny chickless and chick,

Any one have 1968 penny the first chick inside the hens legs instead of rounded back its straight I have 2, on more or less 50 plus 1968 penny I have.

on half penny some I noticed that other belly or stomach have more spaced than other and the spaced on the chest and the groin some are smooth others have a triangular incuse space or it is just a worn die.

Sorry here is the picture,I usually aligned in this two words and they differ on pearse shilling.

Hi,

If interested in irish Varities would suggest trying to locate copies of Irish Numisatics, by Derek Young as there is lots of error reported.

P.s. I have a 1966 1d struck on an incomplete flan
