Quote: Nancy I would like to see pics of these OK, will see what I can do in the next day or two. Re the 1922 "bar in shield" coin, I got mine from DVCollector, so now we have triplets!

I have the new Rennicks pre-decimal varieties book (2010 edition). I am happy to email you the Threepence section (PDF) if you would like it.
Cheers Simon

Wow PP looks like a whole chunk of the die fell off to make that much mess. Certainly do not need a Lupe to spot that one

I keep getting sidetracked! I thought it would be interesting to see the triplets together. DVCollector's Coin  Squire Wilson's Coin  Nancy's Coin  Working on the other images for AC.

Hmmm ... it appears that from the "triplets", mine is the "ugly duckling"  Squire

Nancy--that's a nice group of triplets you put together!  I guess my shield shows it best, but there are depressions around the bar. This suggests to me that die metal was raised above the design in these areas. So perhaps this is die blunder caused by an object like a screwdriver or punch hitting the die and displacing metal?
