Penny stuff for tonight....

So, I think I want to go with B, but look as I might, I can't decide. It appears to have more ripples in the right place, and the design also looks a little like there is more field in view above the plume.

Thanks for any help

I think I'm getting the hang of this

 

[PWA 1967 2,269]

Forget all the ripples & plume Kev

OBV 2 ...Colon close to both A:B  between GRA & BRITT

OBV i.....Gap to both A:B

REV A.... No rim & First i in date to Tooth

REV B.....Rim & First 1 in date to gap

There are others but they are the ones i use first

Also, rev A date is 11 teeth wide, rev B is 13 teeth wide - simples.

Yes Richard as i mentioned there are others i suppose for everything we all look at different indicators first.

The recessed ear Kev as its only just broken is it 1915 ?.

Oddly no, that one is 1916. I did read the other thread and had to double check.

Yes looking at the full obverse picture it does not look as noticable as most 1916 .

[PWA 1967 2,269]

Looking again Kev if its 1916 i am now doubting weather it is...this is what i was trying to say on the other thread that the ear is easier in hand or pictured next to another to compare.

Normally the tooth on the 1916 you can tell at a glance.

Nobody has corrected me YET so interested to know 

[Unwilling Numismatist 505]

I have 2 of them (RE), one is more broken than the other. and a normal obverse. I'm pretty satisfied now that they're correct.

It's amazing what you find when you open your eyes lol.
