<p>[QUOTE=&quot;catbox_9, post: 26748799, member: 7344&quot;]The only thing I know is that the London Mint (early Irish coins were made in London even after independence) delivered one bag of 1000 of these coins to Ireland but due to the war and increased silver price they didn&#039;t want them and they were intended to be destroyed but inadvertently some were released into circulation and about 35 are thought to exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on that it seems weird there are a bunch of obverse dies, but looking at the 4 sales on Heritage Auctions, one of the 3&#039;s looks (to me at least) different from the other examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>The population report for PCGS is 9, NCG is 6, ANACS is 1 and ICG shows 0 so if the estimate of 35 is correct about half are presumed to be raw. Then again I have no idea how they came up with the 35 number.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
