Hi all, I am new here but would be extremely grateful if anyone can tell me a bit more about the lettering on my 1854 penny. I can't tell whether or not I have the 1854/3 overdate variety (despite its' alleged mint condition) or just a poor strike. Also, looking at 'dei' it seems to me as though there is either overstamping onto larger serifs (underneath) or some die deterioration double-stamping. Either way, I find it interesting and would like to know a bit more about it if possible. Can anyone help? Thanks, Alex. Unfortunately, I am unable to attach a picture because my files are too big. Can anyone advise me on how the files can be put up here? I did try to compress but no luck.

You need to reduce the images to 150kb to post direct, 'click to attach files' below, select images and then select 'Add to post', you will have to post each seperately if they are more than the 150kb max. for each post. alternatively a link to photobucket or the like cane be embedded into the post. The Copper series is littered with overdates, double strikings and recut dies, the 54/3 is a distinctive type, once you have seen one there is no mistaking it. John Thanks John, i'll have another stab at the pictures now. Alex.
