Threepence Varieties

gnome · October 04, 2016, 01:37:05 PM

Was having a little change around in the threepences and came across a few I had forgotten about. Some interesting little pieces. There is a 1948 3d with a diecrack from the rim to near top of the 4. There is mention of a 1947, but couldn't find the 1948 mentioned. I also have a 1948 , filled bottom 8, with diecracks from the rim to A,U,A,A, in Australia and rim to P in pence. 1948 3d obverse with diecrack from rim to both dots between G:B and rim to V. 1947 3d rev with a diecrack rim to 7 and 1s E, . 1944 S 3d with a diecrack and large dot/blob on the A. The last one is a 1943 M 3d obverse, with a large dot/blob on the bottom of the second G in George. I only mentioned these as I didn't find them in the book. I could have just missed them, anyway also found another 1949 with a doubled obverse.

For the 44S there is also the variety with a decent cud on the foot of the first 4. Also a 44S with DDO. Like most 44S they are both serif S and not that hard to find even in ChUnc.

A couple of quick snaps.
This is a 1948 3d double diecrack in between the legs of the V and the dots between G:B, there is also a couple of diecracks on the reverse, P and last E.

1944 S with a pretty big diecrack

1948 3d diecrack to the 4
