Another EK2 1870 question

[gregM]

Type A with a touched core.

After doing some more digging around, I believe the last 1870 that you
posted might be a type A1.

see this thread---

It's late and my eyes are tired so I'll let you be the judge.

In my opinion it's just A core, crown is different on A1 core and date, specially noticable on '7' longer tail on top, '1' is also diferrent and I don't think I ever saw ek-2 with A1 core.
Here is A1 core ek1, not the best picture, but still can compare.

Thanks
Great cross.

Does the type A1 actually exist as an EK2?

A - core

I found this while digging through my old files.
I'm not sure who originally posted it but--job well done

[joelhall]

A1 cores are definitely the most beautiful.

Very helpful information. Thanks!

A1 is EK1 only as far as I've ever seen.
