skyv New Member Australia 8 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 8:41 pm This threepence has been damaged and it is difficult to read the date. It has a Melbourne mint mark so it can't be 1922. There are no records of a 21/22 overstamp with a mint mark. Any insights would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 9:32 pm Hi Skyv to CCF I agree with the no mintmark 1922 statement so perhaps the damage to the coin was a result of someone attempting to make a 22/21 overdate out of a 1921 or 1920 M threepence. Some more info on 22/21 (if you haven't already seen it). http://www.triton.vg/T22.html Report this Post to the Staff
