Sweden 1 krona 1949, two different "9"?

Hi,

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1495.html
says that there are two different "9"s.

Here are my images of my single coin


First "9" is not a letter but a ciffer! So that has to be corrected.

Second, I've searched all over internet without finding anything about variants for that year, it's not in SCWC, so it must have been a numista referee accepting that from a numista member, right? Unfortunately without getting a documented proof of the variant. Unforgiveable.....

Third, it would have been nice to know if the 1949, the 1949 or the 1949 "9" which are "different", but no, it's not indicated.

Fourth, a new member from Canada might have found something. I'll ask him to mail his finding in this thread.

Hi Edduns,

I just bought that specific coin, so I'm now allowed to publish this documentation. Thanks to you, my friend.

Glad to be of help - if your happy I am happy. Ed

Thanks Ole for all your help in trying to figure this one out.

My original reference point was a Numista discussion in 2012, which is where "Kraftskiva" originally proposed the "different date letter "9"" variety. https://en.numista.com/forum/topic8455.html

I picked up my 1949 Swedish krona in an estate lot, here in Canada.



It makes sense that if some of the (pre 1949) dies were re-used, there would be three varieties. In the first, a reused master die, no effort is made to change the one (thinner) or the nine (shorter). In the second (my coin), a reused master die is re-stamped with the new one (thicker) and new nine (longer) creating a double die in the first part of the date (also shows a die crack from the south most medallion to the rim). In the third, a completely new master die is created, with the thicker one and longer nine.

I shall call my coin a "partial doubled die in date" (P3D) Swedish krona from 1949. I wonder how many of the 7.981 million minted, fall into our two groups of reused master dies?
