<p>[QUOTE="KurtS, post: 712821, member: 11786"]I see the two varieties listed in Krause, but without a corresponding picture it's hard to say for sure. However, Krause does suggest the last two digits were punched separately in dies that year. This shows on the last photo, where the 51 is obviously punched askew from the 19--and the 1 may be repunched too. The Copenhagen mint was a bit sloppy back then, and you'll find a lot of interesting date varieties on the coins they minted for Iceland. So...without a pic, I'd guess the "straight 5" has a vertical up stroke, but it might also mean the top flag of the digit--wish I knew for sure. Yours does look "straight" to me. :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>The reference you need for this is "<i>Sieg's M</i>ø<i>ntkatalog</i> Norden", which is published in Denmark. I'm still trying to locate one, since I collect date varieties for Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
