D&H 298 ex Hamer Collection

The dies used for this variety seem to be genuine, or, at least, have the appearance of genuine PMCo dies. However, the planchet for DH 298 is a little smaller and lighter than usual and the edge inscription uses a slightly different typeface for some of the letters. It is thus likely that these are imitations.

Estimate: £100-150
