Additional variation
For Obv. 1 + Rev. A there are two types of edges to the coin.
|
|
|
One is 'flat' edge as found on all of the obverse reverse combinations. The other is a 'chamfered' edge. Found so far on only 1 + A In the past the 'chamfered' edging of coins was according to a Royal Mint reasoning "so that coins could stack more easily !" The edging of these coins are more difficult to show. The 'chamfered' edge coins looks like a thinner coin as both edges have been 'shaved' towards the middle. The picture to the left is an example of the 'flat' edge (coin on the far left) and the 'chamfered' edge (next to and to the right of the 'flat' edge coin). I hope that helps !? Try and find an example of each !
