UK KM#790 high or low tide [решено]

8 сообщений
On the UK km 790  1897 1 penny what is the difference between the low and high tide?  Where is it located on the coin?
It is the position of the sea on the coin...I believe; although I have only a high tide collection.
On the 1902 penny the high tide version has the line exactly where Britannia's ankles are crossed, the low tide is very slightly lower. I would guess that the 1897 is the same.

Edit: Guessed wrong. Tony Clayton has a picture here -

Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

I found these 2 pictures and I still can not see the difference.

High tide:



Low tide



Here is my coin:

Look in the field to the right of Britannia at 5 o'clock, see the line where the water meets the sky? Follow it to the left where it meets her right leg. There are two prominent folds, the HT version seems to me to be level with the upper one and the LT version level with the lower.

Yep - like picking flyshit out of pepper but there is a difference!
I now see the difference.

Who has the time to look at a coin that long to find that little difference?

Ever heard the term 'anal' ? Now you understand exactly what it means!
