Photos on their website. You would of course need permission. Quote
ChKy Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks for the advice. I will try to get that permission.BTW: You own a very notable web page. Quote

Was it a purchase, or the result of searching hundreds of 1909's (as we have all done)? Quote

Peckris Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I'm always in two minds about this one. It's such a micro variety that normally I wouldn't care. But on the other hand it's so rare, that if I was able to find one that hadn't been noticed, I would pounce! Quote

Gary D Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 as would I.trying to work out why it exists though, slight rotation on the teeth by mistake?Or an experimental die that wasn't used in the end?Both one of the 1908 reverses has the 1 to tooth as does the 1910. Either could have been used in a hurry.Also the 1908 1*+A has the same reverse as the 1908 1/2d, is that more than a coincidence. Quote
Accumulator Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 There certainly seem to be no more than a handful of these in existence, and none in really great condition. It will be interesting to see what happens with the London Coins example at the weekend. Quote
declanwmagee Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 as would I.trying to work out why it exists though, slight rotation on the teeth by mistake?Reverse E is the 1910 die, just with a 1909 date. If that helps - probably not! Quote
