[streptile]

Is there a 1870 1st class or 2nd class for that matter, period or jubilee with a stepped core?
Thanks

Hello Alf,

Yes, they exist in 2. Class.

Thank you, so I take it it does not in the first class.

So this is not good, if what I am seeing is a stepped core to mention just one.
because I do not think the crown and frame are goo either, of course I stand to be correct.

This core is just cracked; nothing more. It's not stepped.

I also like this cross -- from what I can see so far. Without a view of the reverse it's not possible to say for sure what it is or when it was made. But I think it has a good chance of being a 19th C. piece (likely not from the early award period).

I think I need new glasses, thank you. here is the back o the cross.
