large date, small date 1840's halfcrowns

[freewheels]

Hi There,

I was wondering if anyone could post pictures of the 1849 large and small date halfcrowns side by side?

Coincraft shows a small date and claims that they are all blundered date numerals per the picture but I don't think that is the final word.

Ebay has an NGC AU 50 claiming to be a small date and it's not blundered and actually looks like a lrge date to my non expert eye.

Sorry these aren't live links, I need to learn how to do that on this site.

Also,

which of the 1839-1850 series has small and which has large dates;anybody know?

And,

Can anyone post pictures of 1848 halfcrowns with the "irregular obverse letter spacing" of the straight 8 as well as pic's of 8/6 and 8/7?

I would appreciate it,

Thanks,

freewheels.

It could be your lucky day. Give me your email addres & I can send clear pictures of 1845/3, 1846 with 8/6, 1848/6, 1848/7, 1849/7, 1849 SD & 1849 LD. Unfortunately they add up to about 3.5Mb with none being smaller than 300K, so fall foul of the 150K limit.

Here is a close up of the 1848 over 6. I do not have the others.
