New 1935 crown variety, maybe

[Gary D]

This arrived today from an ebay sale. The seller had listed it as a new variety and although skeptical, I could lay my hand on my milled edge fake at the time, took a chance. So the Crown has arrived and the seller is correct it is a very sharp strike and the observe rim is very narrow compared to all the other rocking horse crowns I've seen. Mind you I haven't been looking out for this one so they may pop up all over the place now that I've seen this one. Weight is 38.24g which I assume is within limits. The bust is about 0.4mm bigger as is the distance between the tips of the teeth across the coin. The reverse looks the same as the normal issue apart from the very sharp strike.

Presumably you mean 28.24g? 38.24g is unquestionably not within limits.

Yes, quite right there Rob. I don't see a lot other than a narrower rim to the one and the specimen on Right having more sharply struck hair details. I must confess that other than checking the edge (incuse vs. raised or jumbled/missing) I might have passed that one by...
