farnbycoins Valued Member Australia 206 Posts	Posted 09/01/2007 11:34 pm I have this 1928 Australian half Penny with a spur or stoke on the top left of the 8 in date. Any thoughts? *Edited by Forum Dad to fix images* Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 09/08/2007 02:24 am If you think a thread (either one of yours or someone else's) should be moved to a different part of the forum, just hit one of the "Report" links in the bottom left corner of the posts, and explain nicely that you think the thread should be moved elsewhere. The moderators may grumble a bit, but that's part of their job. (Moving threads, I mean... not grumbling.) As to the coin, it sure looks impressive enough (and I'm not a keen variety-hunter). It's not listed in the Renniks-McConnelly varieties book. Maybe we could call it the "winged 8"? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 09/08/2007 08:55 am Oh. Bottom left.. bottom right... I always get those two mixed up... Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
farnbycoins Valued Member Australia 206 Posts	Posted 09/08/2007 11:42 pm Thanks for that info in regards to moderators, much appreciated Sap. The stroke is so very short and fat, and is flush in thickness of the 8. I cannot decide if it is a die break, or foreign object. Regardless, we shall call it the winged 8, I like that.

NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 09/12/2007 09:23 am It looks like there might be a vague figure over-stamped hidden behind the "8" but it could just be my imagination..is there anything between the thick, upper left part of the "8" and the thinner, lower part?
