An interesting article on the 34 shilling that was previously reported as being an overdate.
I remember having late night discussions a few years about this particular item then and believed it wasn't an overdate.
A well explained article I thought, well done pra.

Yes it was a good article.  I wonder if someone will dredge up one of the other supposed "overdates" soon.  It seems to happen once every couple of years.

I had the pleasure of proof-reading and editing that article. Good job Dr Pra.

I noticed that he acknowledged you and Mark for your assistance with it.  Well done all! :yahoo:

Which ones are they?

But I agree with the good article sentiment. More of that kind of thing would be nice.

A couple of years back someone was flogging the idea that a 1924 shilling was a 1924/3 overdate.  I might have the coin or date wrong but it was something like that.  Actually I don't sound like I know much at all, perhaps I shouldn't be saying anything. :blush2:

That has never stopped me Mate, even if I get something wrong someone will set ME right and I gain that wisdom.
It's all WIN WIN :pilot:
I can recall there was some debate about an overdate 1933 1/2 penny :good:

Yeah, that's been doing the rounds for years.  I've never seen one nor met someone that's seen one.  In honour of it I've added a new smilie to the forum.  I'll let you decide what it is.  :dead_horse:

There is a picture of a claimed overdate 1933 halfpenny in the same issue of the magazine. Under the ultimate half penny set article.

Doesnt look much like an overdate to me.

I believe that one was mentioned in the article.

Here's another one and I think this seller should know better. :dodgy:
The top of the 2nd three looks like it's taken a hit and has a small cease as a result. Very :dodgy:
