On my 1947 Threepence, one the Rev. it has what looks like an extra line of metal from the top right of the 7, to the edge of the coin, is this normal or not? Promise to get a picture up soon  Image:  Edited by Spedward

COOL, nice find Eddy. I have one, but had to purchase mine  . Does your 47 3D Die Crack also have a light die crack from the lower fork of the left Ribbon to the Rim  Does anyone know if this was another crack included in the C37A ref, or just another unassociated crack( is so small anyway who cares pile  ). http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...hp?album=784Edited by farnbycoins

I need to check more of my coins for die cracks. I didn't realise my 1947 has one also but from the E to the edge.  |

It's pretty unlikely that you'll pick up one of these books second hand. There's only been the one edition in 2005, so there's no updates available. It's about $30, or was when I got mine.

The list I posted is just all the errors known to the author at the time of publication.
Many years of threepences have quite a lot of die cracks all over the place. I hope to list all mine one day, but there's so many of them, it'll be a huge job.
