What do you reckon ?
There is definately something there.
Two examples with the "overdate" more evident on the first.
The second example has a hit on the 4 by the way.
Note that both coins exhibit the same die polishing lines around the date (doesn't really show up well on the photos).

It does look like it…doesn’t it
Looks like the threepence type with the top loop of the 3 under the 4.

Maybe all of us should check our 1934 6d's and see if we find any more. I'll dig mine out tomorrow, but I don't have many.

A third example arrived today.
This one looks more like a die scratch.
I think that they are all just die scratches.
Interesting nevertheless.
