hi everyone

first one



second one

First Up
Awesome images :good:
They both look like Canberra issues as they both have all sharp whiskers :ok:

The Melbourne coin has a blunted Firs whisker
The Perth Coin has a blunted second whisker.

Gee RG, that far right whisker does look a little blunted on both (compared to the next whisker), but are they short enough? God only knows where I've put my 1c bits to compare. :angel:

If That first whisker is blunted then it is hardly noticeable is this the usual case ? , With the Perth issues the blunted second whisker if easily noticed and well defined.
