no-coin-dated-figure

No document names how many coins were struck bearing the date 1910. These are report-year figures, counted as issued, and a coin dated 1910 was drawn from deliveries like these. Treating one of them as the mintage of a 1910 coin is what most published figures do, and it is the conflation this catalogue exists to document: the reports themselves record dates carrying over from one report year into the next.

What it is made of

Not copied from a table. Each row is the standard the instrument named beside it actually prescribed, and the fine metal weight is derived from that standard rather than looked up. Where a column says "not stated", the instrument does not state it and we will not supply a number it does not carry.

Varieties and errors

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.

VarietyHow you tell it apartEvidenceSource
1922/1 overdate threepence Clear 1 beneath the second 2 in date trade
a dealer, auction house or grading service
source
Featuring a clear ‘1’ below the last ‘2’ in the date, and known by about 900 examples, the 1922/21 Overdate Threepence is a truly great Australian rarity.
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”
1934/3 overdate threepence 1934 tool derived from an unused 1933 master die trade

source
the 1934/3 Threepence which like the 1925/3 Shilling was derived from an unused master die.

What the mints reported

These are not mintages by date, and this catalogue will not print them as if they were. They are what the Sydney, Melbourne and Perth branches reported striking, delivering or issuing during a report year. A single year's delivery routinely carried two dates: the 1958 report says florins and sixpences to a stated value "were dated 1957; the remainder of the coin delivered being dated 1958".

34 records. 29 of them are recorded in pounds sterling rather than in coins, because that is how the mints kept the books. 4 name the date borne by the coin. On 1 occasion the report states the same output both ways, in money and in coins, and the two agree exactly once converted: that is the pound ledger showing itself.
