    I'm trying to figure out which Reverse (date ) it is . To me, it looks like number #3

    It looks more like #5 to me based on the position of the numbers.

    It could be #5, I did a little work on getting the date & the 6 dates larger in size ...

    I would say it is none of them that looks like a small 8 variety and relatively new. I shrunk your pic so you can see it relative to the others. Largest loop inside the 6 thin 1 toothed border widest. Always hard to tell as die wear degrades a lot of the detail but its closest to pic 1 but that looks as if its from an unc coin.

    With 14 million minted, is it reasonable to believe that all date configurations have been elucidated? I'll take "No" for $200, Alex. :)

    Well your talking UK coins here. We are still finding new die pairings dates over dates to this day. Freemans reworked edition lists 185 new varieties since he wrote the book. I guess it was a slow old process only relying on auctions and clubs to share the knowledge. Now with the internet super highway you can view 100's of coins side by side to compare in an instant. I myself found an unlisted or reported 1826 Half penny with roman I for 1 in the date. And still have a lot that need verifying but it all comes down to cost. £400 min send is just too much to find let alone part with lol

    Update: This is what I've been told from the " British Coin Forums " .
    "normal Placement" variety Obverse 3 Reverse B, for what it worth .....

    They did need another image of the full date ..

    I would like to know how they deemed it so seeing as the bottom foot of the 1 on date 3 passes in a straight line where the neck and the foot of the 2 join or is that my eyesight?

    I think your getting the old classification, messed up with the new classification ( "normal Placement" variety Obverse 3 Reverse B )

    Then where is a reference listing these new classifications?

    Oh I see you thought it was pic 3 but they said it was obverse 3 reverse B . I see now it was Pic and obverse 3 that threw me. It is what I originally thought? 1A if you go by the picture. I would disect the one they said it is and put it side by side with your own 1 . Should be clearer then
