Robster ..... I seriously think someone has done the Arnie and Danny on us!

Here's the other two of the quads!

Twin-Sisters-1926-Sixpence.

One of mine is suffering from juandice at the moment and might get some eucalyptus soon.

I think some eucalyptus oil would really help take that yellow staining off Unicorn

Those are very distinctive cracks--unusual in how they are concentric to the rim, rather than connecting. Always fun to see several coins from the same die.

The jaundice is the residue from sticky tape, so I'd be inclined to use Acetone to get it off.

I have several images of these, with one in particular having a crack coming downwards from the last E of Sixpence, but not meeting the rest of the crack. They're not my images/coins, so I can't post them here.

Thanks all. Have a couple of sticky tape beasts about so will have to do some gentle laundry.

Would love to see a pic of the extra crack one whenever you can Nancy .

Robster, it looks like my pair had their night on the tiles this time The one on the left might have actually fell over! (A couple of times perhaps).

I have some more so Octomom made these.
BTW I don't think the fault is a typical diecrack but some other defect.
