I have two 1 PICE coins of 1943 - different types - pls see below. Same mint - it seems they had both types from the same mint ?..... Would appreciate feedback ... :smile Thomas
Nice both from Bbay... dont remember where i saw it first maybe krause or jfcampbell.. the 2 types here are the flat crown and the curved one? isnt there one more ?
First one from Bombay mint and second from Pretoria. The Bombay one has a diamond mm while Pretoria is a bead mm. Look carefully and you would notice the difference between the mint marks! These are not from the same mint.
