<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 29019, member: 283&quot;]I&#039;m no expert on that particular coin type so I cannot say anything for definite, but I think it&#039;s just a minor variation. </p><p><br /></p><p>You have to bear in mind that unlike todays machine produced coinage, these coins were struck individually by hand and using different (hand made) dies. That is, the dies used to strike the coin with would probably need to be replaced every few hundred or so coins. None of the replacements would have been exactly the same as the one that went before...or the one that would come after. Hence there will inevitably be (over the lifetime of the production of the coin) considerable variations within the coin type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
