KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 03:17 am I noticed an interesting difference between a couple 2 Ore coins, where on one the last "9" in the date almost appears to be almost laying on its side. Taking some photos from the same focal length, and creating an overlay, it appears one "9" has a longer tail and is rotated slightly. I found it an interesting contrast to the first 9 in the date. The pic below first shows the two dates separately, and the second photo is an overlay where the two arrows point to different lengths of the last 9. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 6:16 pm Are there any signs that the second 9 took a hit that caused the tail to be flattened out? The position looks normal to me, since the date is meant to curve along with the curvature of the hole. You may have a die variety here, or a die that was altered or repaired (badly). Good food for thought, but it's giving me a headache =) Edited by Numismat 01/28/2009 6:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 6:28 pm Thanks for dropping by and commenting on an admittedly minor detail. No signs of damage on the second coin (longer tail 9) However, the 9 on the first coin looks like it was hit at the end and flared slightly. When I overlay both coins aligned to "DANMARK", the difference of the 9 is more obvious. Norseman might have some good thoughts here since the Copenhagen mint coined for Iceland during this time. blowup of the both dates, where arrows show the endings of both 9: Report this Post to the Staff
norseman012 Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 10:41 pm I think that the Copenhagen mint in that time period only used one or maybe 2 dies for the lower domination for their copper coinage and from what I understand they re engraved the dies as they become worn out. If you look at both of the pic's of the dates on these coins you will see what appears as a double die but is really the re engraving in the higher areas of the date and what appears as being bigger is were they totally removed any remnants of the original engraving of the date. If you look at the coins from Iceland that I have posted here you will see examples of this practice. So what I think kurt has here is possibly the same die but in a diffrence die state of condition. Just like the 1938 2 Aurar from Iceland that is posted here the coins are from the same die but re engraved twice making it a three die varity for this coin. I maybe wrong put it sure sounds good Report this Post to the Staff
