Yes - 1920 was the last year they only used the deep cut obverse portrait, which 'sucked' metal away from Britannia, and caused a 'ghost' of the portrait outline which you can see clearly in the top example; it's more common to see between 1911 and 1920 than fully struck up reverses. In 1921 about half the pennies use a shallower portrait which partly alleviated the problem, but it wasn't until the Modified Effigy from 1926 that they reduced the effect to small enough not to worry about.

Unfortunately, no. Nothing of interest there.

I've never heard of anyone differentiating between types of 1865/3 - have you ever found a seller who does?

That's a ridiculous price for what is regarded as the easiest halfcrown to find in top grades of the 1920-26 series.

The 2023 50p 20p 10p and 1p are all considerably under 1m minted, so expect to see them on eBay at absolutely crazy prices.

Here's what I did in Photoshop:

1. Crop the picture so that only the penny is showing. 2. Enlarge it enough for us to see the detail (use a graphics editor or the free one that comes with Windows) 3. Save the jpeg so it's a file size 500k or less.

Picture far too small, see your other post.

Picture way too small - see my suggestion in your other post.

Your pictures are too small to make out details. Please crop them, enlarge them, and save at a quality setting that will fit into the 500k allowed here.

Ah. So it is!

Or the Queen Mum down at the dogs cheering on hers while necking a bottle of Worthington....

I'm guessing Austria

I think that's an optical illusion, caused by the fact the upright of the orb appears to be bending to the right (wear?) - without that the orb is dead centre.

You will see from my 1903 and 1905 that there is no offset, not even slightly.
