| Great Britain - 1926 Old and Modified Head differences |
How to tell the
difference:
All the hairlines are different, the overall relief may be slightly
lower, the truncation at the neck is less pronounced, and the engravers
initials are further to the right. According to Peck*, other design
differences include:-
There are no stops after the designer's initials (BM) on the modified
head.
The beard and mustache have been retouched.
*The two dots of each colon are set farther apart.*

| Greece
- 1 Drachma 1976 KM-116 - 4 sails variety |
There was an unapproved first strike of the 1976 1 Dr
and they were ordered to be melted. Reportedly a mint worker saved
about
60 from the furnace. It has "4 sails" on front of ship, worth a few
hundred bucks even well worn. Not the main sails, the angled ones in
the front, the pic in Krause is a common "3 sails" variety.
