    Just got a much better copy with the second obverse die

    Was just taking a closer look at my two 1819 six pence coins... and guess what: I found a 3rd one But mine is however different! My coin has a low 2nd 1 in 1819 - so at least two dies must have been made from the same master perhaps more?

    So we should all look out for a "narrow 3" 1903, representing the damaged normal 3 before the recut! David Hope not guess (if any correction was done) that it was done before the dies were hardened and any coins struck.

    As far I can see (from the scans) the 190 plus the teeth (perls) appears to be in the same possition. But the 3s are punched individualy and not in the same place. Now I'm not saying that it is the same 3 punch - but it's possible that it's the same as the back part looks identical.

    Well I don't see them as being very different - but as I mentioned I'm not familiar with these coins. The 190 of both 1903 types seems however to be exactly in the same possition (different from the 1902 year): Also the back of the 3 fits more or less (it's a bit difficult to be sure as all I have is the pictures posted above):

    You only have to look at the shape of the 2 in a 1902 penny to see the 3/2 theory is total oblox! I'll post some high res pictures later nuff sed! David I mostly work with 18th century coins but to me it looks as a wreak strike of the 3 punch corrected by hand. The same punch may come out quite differently due to the angle of the strike and later engraving.
