Hi,

Is a tiny line like that (1/2 at right) is normal or it corresponding to an error die?

Thank you!

My bust guess is that it is more the result of a worn die than an error.

I'd agree: a combination of heavy inking and a worn plate

cdnum, to identify any plate flaw,
we really need to know what stamp it is.
You need to supply the watermark and perforation,
then we can tell you at a glance.
The three halfpence has upward of 100 varieties.

Hi Ro222,

Sorry... It is a big crown and a A under. I think it is #9 (scott)

Thank you!

Looks to me like SG77
single wmk type 2

Sorry no "thin fraction" listed so as the guys advised before
worn plate / excessive ink.

There is a "thin fraction" listed, but on LHS

here are the foibles of this critter,
and if you think this is involved, the varieties
continue to another full page after this!

I surrender, I surrender!

No more varieties, please!

I agree about the over-inking.

cdnum, please put the country name in your title, thanks. That helps to get the people that know that country to look at the post.

Hi Puzzler,

"No more varieties, please!"

:)

I just ask the question because there is a 1/2 penny with thin fraction listed. Plus, I tought it was a variety because there is a notch at the left big 1<---- of this stamp.

Thank you!

If I recall correctly, there's been a book written about the 1˝d George V and its varieties ...
