A couple of listed but unconfirmed varieties

[Gary D 76]

Davies list for 1953 proofs two varieties of the halfcrown and shilling. I have had both varieties of the halfcrown for some time 2310 & 2311. Today I received the second variety of theScottish shilling so I now have both 2440 & 2441. Both the 2310 and 2440 are listed by Davies as unconfirmed.

Another coin I received today which I wasn't aware of until receiving a copy of Dave book on varieties was a 1949 Brass 3d with the sharp edges. Peck lists this variety for1943 and 1948 but not 1949. Although a listed variety I believe it's not widely known and appears to be much scarser than the rounded edge variety.
