V over ? on this Half Sov

[azda 979]

Is this listed, not to sure, any takers? The V in VICTORIA. I've put it here for the time being as i'm unsure if it's a confirmed variety or not.

Here is the whole coin

That looks like a Repunched "V". There is no variety (V over V) listed for that Half Sov. though.

Not so sure RLC, the line looks to straight to be a V in my opinion

I was looking at it upside down, and also in a picture, instead of in the hand...so I wouldn't have as good of a view of it as you. But it did look like it might be a double punched V.

How do you manage to upload such large pictures az? No way are any of my Photoshop pictures (even at 5/12 minimum acceptable quality) anywhere near as small as 150k.

The strange thing is, I can upload a picture that's close to the limit - 140k say - but when it's uploaded here it's apparently only half that size. However, the forum software isn't going to let me upload a >150k picture "knowing" it will be compressed smaller, will it?

I use Nero photoshop, when i take my pictures i always have the camera setting on the highest setting, my pictures are then generally about 1 meg each, i then crop around the coin which takes it down to the 700kb mark, then i resize it down to the 150kb mark, but always save the high res pictures for myself. Through nero photshopi can also enlarge pix, the picture here on the Half Sov was only around 40kb, so i cropped the dealers picture then blew up the OBV picture so you could see what i was looking at.

So any thoughts on the Half Sov, i'm not convinced its a repunched V as the line under it looks to straight to me.

Thanks for your response to my PS question

It doesn't look like an underlying V to me. Difficult to see what it is though. Possibly an I ?

Yes thats what i thought to Peckris, the line to me looks far to straight, all will be revealed in a weeks time hopefully. Glad i bought this USB microscope now, it will definately come in handy
