Is this a 1933/34 overdate? Just posted the shilling to view.

Yes I did hear years ago that this coin exists. The 4 is a clear overdate. the 3 matches the overdate specification as well.

I'm only a hobby collector but have been at it since the early 1960's and have read widely over the years and I've never heard of a 34 O/D Shilling. In its favour is that the Mints were playing around with modified Dies at this time and it looks legit,similar to the 3d O/D but these Coins were counterfeited in the 1980/90's by a Sydney Dental Technician,perhaps he experimented with a Shilling? Really need Walter,Eric or one of the other Dealers to comment. |

This is the first time I've ever heard of a 1934 O'date Shilling.

These are scarce but not too hard to find.
From memory there was a CAB article.
Problem is how to get them verified and accepted as an overdate.

I have the article by Peter Andrews in front of me. It is in CAB Nov 12 pages 34-35. He dismisses it as an overdate as the first 3 is higher and to the right on the '33 shilling and the 2 examples he has don't show much of a doubling to the right of the 3 and none above. He puts the line to the left of the 4 as a scratch on the die. He doesn't have the mark to the right of the 4. the OPs shilling might restart this debate and personally I'll sit on the fence until a higher grade example comes along.

Interesting,the thing that worries me about the OP Coin is the O/D looks like a replica of a 1934 3d O/D,if Mint staff were playing around with a 1933 Shilling Die surely the remnants of the final 3 would be different.
I surprised Peter Andrews didn't mention the 'F' word as most Dealers & Numismatists were aware of manipulated 1934 3d O/D Coins although I haven't heard it mentioned much over the last 20 years.

I would be very interested in seeing some posts of this replica shilling to compare with the one I have posted. If they are not hard to find I would like for people to post their pics of this "F" coin. looking forward to seeing them. Then we can put this article to bed.

Might be interesting to analyze the overdate area with polarized light.

On the fake 3d the material used just ran when heat was applied leaving the smooth base surface but it would be a shame to ruin the Shilling if its genuine. |
