DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/25/2011 9:42 pm I've posted before about a 1922 3d I found with a raised mark in the shield. Today I picked up the second example, found at a coin fair. Perhaps a few collectors would enjoy seeing the two coins side-by-side? The second pic is horribly dusty--I'm keeping it in its 2x2 because it's going to a friend here. Edited by DVCollector 06/25/2011 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/25/2011 10:31 pm I can see TWO raised marks on the shield of the coin on the left. 1. a line in the bottom of the shield 2. a small blob between the kangaroo's paws, on the side of the shield. That makes these coins as pair very interesting, because they share the same line at the bottom of the shield, but only the left hand one has the blob. The inference to be drawn from this, is that that they came from the same die and leads to the suggestion of progressive die breakup, albeit in the early stages. Whatever you do, keep them together.

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 06/26/2011 7:35 pm Looking at the coin on the left, does the 'blob' sel points out, actually continue obliquely as a 'bar' through the side of the large shield, down to the top right hand corner of the small inner shield? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/26/2011 8:18 pm I'm not sure about the blob, so I haven't commented yet. I will need to find and examine the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
