A coin of this date, photographed

Varieties recorded for this coin
A variety is a claim about a coin, and claims differ in how well they are evidenced. The grade beside each says what kind of source stands behind it. This catalogue prints no valuations, so nothing here tells you what a variety is worth.
| Variety | How you tell it apart | Evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1922/1 overdate threepence | Clear 1 beneath the second 2 in date | trade
a dealer, auction house or grading service |
source Dealer claims “no more than 900” without a census; excluded from population. Manufacture disagreement: Downies [200] “one of the 1921 dies had a ‘2’ punched into the date”; NGC [200] “the last figure on a working hub was simply hammered flat and a new figure was roughly re-entered” |
What this page does not tell you
It does not tell you what the coin is worth. A catalogue can honestly report how many were struck, what metal is in one, and what the documents say. It cannot report a market price without either inventing it or copying someone who might have. So this catalogue reports the first three and stays quiet about the fourth.
