1934/33 Overdate

[Basilstate]

Yes Uni.,these egs are rare,i have 2 now.Under a Loupe you can see the remnants of the 3 sitting there clearly,i can't get the same angle with a USB scope.The 4 sits higher over the 3 on this Die.
One of our band up here as found a 34/33  with the wide ornament,he's not computer savvy so when it turn up i'll post some Pics., if its an overdate.

Yes,we need some more Posters in the Pre-Dec section,miss AJ(& Trout) in that regard,i don't bother posting run of the mill stuff anymore as no one replies's but i'll keep posting the more rarer finds/egs as i keep all Pics. in Folders and not much effort to throw them on here for future Ref.

Thanks for posting Basil.
Pics are excellent.

Hard part with the overdates is that there are few references that can be used to show the individual overdate dies. Really needs hi-res images of high grade coins of both the overdate and any die markers (even obverse markers help). Then it might be possible for us hoi-polloi with middle and lower grade examples to hopefully spot something on our coins that shows us which particular die we have.
And is Trout still grey nomading? I've wondered about how all the wanderers are doing what with locked borders near on 2 years.

I noticed he was on here around Nov./Dec.,i sent him a PM but no reply.
Same with Fred,i sent him a PM and he replied he'll be back posting later this year,he said he was trying to build a Fission Bomb,or something like that...LOL..that will get him some some attention.

The 1934/3 overdate 3d with the normal or narrow spaced date definitely exists.
Bit like the sixpence and shilling overdate, the overdate bits tend to be harder to see.

[Basilstate]

Yes Echi,this is an eg of the 'wide spaced ornament' overdate on the 3d.
These are scarce,i have 2 so this will make 3.
Only received the Coin this morning so will try and soak the dirt out of the middle of the 4 to see what's under there.

1934 sixpence overrate? Was that in a magazine article or was another 1934 coin?

[nealeffendi]

Echidna posted bout the sixpence overdate last year and yes it exists. Its a single wide date die, fairly scarce.

Yes I saw it in the other thread - I thought I'd read about all four denominations having overdates but it looks like the sixpence and florin only get a mention here on the forum.

I'm accumulating '34 wide dates with the intent of eventually writing a CAB article. So far 4 different confirmed dies of which one is the overdate. Currently have about 20 examples (of the wide, only 4 of the overdate) but I'm aiming for double that before I'm confident about a possible 5th die existing/not existing. This forum is great but these varieties need a wider audience.

I've found maybe six or so altogether over a few years of searching.
They are scarce but not rare.
So far they are all the same with only the top bit of the overdate visible.
