      1915 Recessed ear

      By terrysoldpennies · Posted

      Well the answer to that is with difficulty .   Firstly the 1915 is rarer than the 1916 and that most collectors associate the type with the broken tooth and want it to be clearly visable .  And so without it, its really hard to tell from a photograph, but in hand its easier to determine the depression in the centre of the coin.     Below are four pictures of the tooth gradually looking more broken Note in the top picture the tooth looks to be intact, but on closer inspection it is actually very slightly smaller . really hard to see on a coin. ?

      I third the suggestion, Class 9b2. The cross on the obverse is the ghosting of the metal being forced into the reverse die. It was an issue that troubled mints right up until the 1930s, at least. The modified effigy of King George was to deal with a very similar issue.

      1915 Recessed ear

      By absence of uniformity · Posted

      One other question I have please ; I know higher grade examples are really hard to come by with the recessed ear. But on better grade 1915 penny that dont have the broken tooth and not much wear to use that as a guide what would be the process be to identify the recessed ear? thanks
