A couple of images of the short and long 7.
I have only found the long 7 (normal) from Canberra and the short and long from Perth.
There are other subtle differences in the numerals, but very hard to detect by eye. The images were taken x60.

I can see what appears to be a definite difference with the top of the 7 on the c75d image, much narrower on the tip of the short down-stroke and almost pointed when compared to the other one.
Good info, thanks. :angel:
Also Thick vs Thin 7. And the tip of the 9 curls more on the p75d.
Yep, both right, also 2 differences in the 5. The bottom outside of the down stroke finishes a little longer into a point, the other no point. The top cross bar at the bottom right hand corner, one is more rounded than the other.
2 different dies were used, apart from the long and short 7, I have found numeral differences like the above throughout the 2cent range.
Cheers
And the same with the 1970 Cpt Cook 50c coin
