The die marker on the D in FD is replicated exactly on the X in REX.
Same size and angle.
Also there are three dots above the S in GEORGIUS.
Offset die clashes ?

How faint is it? I can't see anything obvious on the X.

A better pic of the die flaw in X of REX.

Nice photo. They are 3 different coins going by the rim dings. The second coin has much sharper details in the beading and rims as well as the lettering. Could wear alone account for this?

The second one is a bit better grade and also the original pic was better res.

IGA Auction Coin on Ebay,that didn't take long,big markup from the A$3000 it was listed as but i guess they will steadily rise in value when the scarcity becomes known.
Nice clear dot on the Reverse but by the looks of things the Obverse Die has problems.
Seller says there are around 30 known,Sydney Dealer told me less than 20 a few Months ago,whatever the correct number they are sure rare.

ebay has its consequences. The coin is available from the same dealer's site for $600 less. Still above the IAG estimate, I think.

Yes Auto,Ebay fees about $600 on $4000+,Dealers get a special deal thou. IIRC.
