Thanks Uni, corrected.!

That's some excellent photography of the new discovery Robster.
Great to see the consistent doubling and chip. Mine might take a bit of work to see if they have the chip or not, but I plan to do it.

My third and final coin, this one shows the best example of doubling on the date.! (base of 1, all of 9, right side of 3.)
No die chip but a savage attack to the rim.! :dodgy:
Hope this assists any pre decimal noodlers.:angel:

Fab fotos Robster!

Is it just my sight or can I see the die chip on the reverse pic?

Robster · January 28, 2015, 11:39:13 AM

Wow, for a bloke with bad eyesight you have done it again.! Very small die chip between the letters as per the other two PLUS, two tiny dots in the field between 'O' of one and the inner ring.!
Thankyou, proves three eyes are better than one.:angel:

The good quality pics are the key Robster!

I've just spent the past hour trying to get one decent photo of a cud!!!! (About 80 pics so far and I'm still not happy ...... )

I guess that's what you get when you have Kodak Easyshare Z710 :laugh2: (At least it has a Schneider lens ...... pffft).

Sorry to be a pain ..... is this them Robster .... a mm or so in front of the arrow? (Just for reference sake).

Found these on 2 of 3 coins, one coin more defined. :angel:

Unicorn · January 28, 2015, 12:41:57 PM

Thanks Robster! (:laugh2: .... I was miles off).

Robster · January 28, 2015, 12:50:06 PM

I can see them on your coin.!!

Unicorn · January 28, 2015, 01:02:49 PM

I think I confused you somewhat ........

The cud I was trying (poorly) to get a good photo of wasn't a 1930 halfpenny, I was just expressing my frustration with my efforts in comparison to your great pics which allowed me to see the A ... L die chips earlier.

Then when you mentioned the new ones between the 0 and inner rim I grabbed your photo, enlarged it and put a couple of arrows on it where I thought they were.

So my coin is your coin ...... Twiiiiiiiins!!!!

Late to the Party, a no go on finding a Robster match.

Did find a Die chip on the toe of L in HALF.
(ONLY FOUND THE ONE THOUGH)

Well spotted FP!

That's another variety for the list! :yahoo:

Bit early for that, need Two examples to shortlist
a Third to confirm.

The tiny Die Crack on top of the second leg of H of HALF
was the pointer to look a little closer in that area.
