G'Day all just thought Id share this with you,
I brought this as an 1888 O (EF to AU ) to fill a hole in my album,


but when I put it under the microscope wow die cracks and rim
Cud everywhere,
didn't find it in the C C of E so off to VAMworld the photo's confirmed it is a
VAM 23
tho this must be a late die stage as the rim
Cud is thicker about 1/3 of the coin more than the photo
and the cracks are larger with more silver filling
anyway I'll post the photo's to see what you think
left wing first(eagles right wing)


main crack in reverse




and photos of the cud


hope you like
regards Harry
