Title: 1944s threepence brockage
Post by: purplepennyhunter on November 08, 2012, 12:37:04 PM
I was listing up this Australian 1944s threepence reverse brockage (http://www.thepurplepenny.com/718,reverse-brockage-australian-1944s-threepence.html) coin today when I stumbled on this eBay listing (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271074695296?nma=true&si=B8Xq7bzF5VS6x9zuofQEfhvJpLQ%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true#ht_1004wt_1159).

Same die pair, same die crack through the first A of Australia. Considering it's late state it was probably struck about the same time.

Cool hey.

Just pulled mine out for a look, has some additional features. Has a d/c to the 4 and one through the T in threepence to nearly the wheat sheaf.
