Nice New Year variety, Nick, well done! Quote
Coinery Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Do you think that's a 4 under your 5 too? Quote
Nick Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Do you think that's a 4 under your 5 too?Not sure. I'll have to have another look under the microscope. Quote
Nick Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Do you think that's a 4 under your 5 too?I don't think it is. Under the microscope it looks like there is just a small die break between the upper and lower parts of the 5. Quote
Peckris Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Do you think that's a 4 under your 5 too?I doubt it - 53/52 makes sense, but 53/42 doesn't, really. Quote
