mashisback Valued Member United Kingdom 287 Posts	Posted 02/26/2014 10:53 am Thanks Peter, I only had about 3 mins to research before an auction was ending so I am lucky I got it right, if it was the wrong bust from what I figured, I'd have made a bad purchase Got this for £15, which based on your grading means coin worth £18-£30 so am happy When a variation of a coin states for example 1825/3 What does this mean? I have seen coins selling like this for huge amounts, with close up pictures but I cant see anything? my only assumption is that it is literally a 5 struck on top of a 3? but I am assuming this is incorrect?

In this instance the 1823 die was reused with a 5 recut over the 3. It also happened with letters with you being used instead of a V or upturned V's being used as A's Sometimes letters were completely missed. Have a look at Colin Goodes aboutfarthings website when serifs were left of B's ETC. The sovereign dies were used for farthings and often were recut.It is obvious when the series are studied.
