A bit blurry, but does appear to have something underneath the 4.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

What denomination is this coin 3d, 6d, Shilling or florin ? I am guessing that this is a 3d coin  |

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.
