<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2499720, member: 40017&quot;]Yes 1844 is not a particularly difficult date.

Having said that, the British collectors are less concerned with these variations unless they are pretty blatant.</p><p>Here a few from my own set:</p><p>1842 - in pretty good condition. (I find it difficult to get really clean busts on these - the striking makes the head very proud and prone to early abrasion.)</p><p>1852 - because it is the scarcest I have.</p><p>1847/6 - because I know how the US collectors like overdates. In fact this year is only recorded with overdates, either over 6 or 8. It also shows how blatant they need to be to get noticed!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]530216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]530214[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
