1905 penny 3rd type
terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Well actually your small 0 penny creates an even bigger conundrum , as on all of the small 0s I have found, all had the wavy E in PENNY & on the E in ONE ,whereas the one you show has wavy in ONE and straight in PENNY, that's as far as I can tell from your picture. But this still show that the wavy Es are only found on small 0 types. see mine above Terry -
1905 penny 3rd type
terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Hi I have been out all evening sorry, on the reverse B the gap between the 0 & 5 only vary because of the 0 being smaller and slightly narrower, the overall width of the date is the same on both F160 types [Rev B] ,but the rev C is slightly narrower. its the fact that I have only found the wavy E to be present on coins with the small 0 type date . terry -

No Matt , not between the F160 & the F161 as both have the straight bottom to the E, but the new F160 if we may call it F160a has the wavy E . Terry -

Penny Acquisition of the week

Jerry, I have a recessed ear type without the broken tooth , so I would assume that the tooth broke during 1915, and continued in use with the broken tooth into 1916. Terry ps being quite warn it is clearly recessed in the centre . -

1963 penny with wavy exergue
terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I wonder if the distortion of the digits were caused by the same problem in the manufacturing process as that which caused the wavy exergue. Terry -
1963 penny with wavy exergue
terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I was just taking another look at my 1963 wavy exergue , and have noticed something overlooked at the time , because we were all to distracted looking hard at the wavy exergue. The 9 has a squared off chisel like end to its tail, and also that the circular part of the 9 is squared off at the bottom. A second pic in different light shown below . has anyone else got another one with this feature on it. Terry -

The thing is that the 1951 has on over inflated reputation, and you cant blame the dealers from cashing in on it. Being one of the older generation I can tell you that people had more on there mind , and little money then to indulge in coin collecting. The boom really came in the 1960s when the introduction of decimal coinage was announced . Terry -

As soon as the location of the 1951s was know people started hording them in mint condition , unlike the 1949 . The 1912h is another one that was horded , where as the 1912 most were melted down in the 1960s. Terry -

Its a better find than you think, there are four types of 1913 penny , Freeman 174 known as F174 Q.common] / F175 V.scarce / F176 V.rare / and F177 the most common type. Yours is a F175, and not a bad find for the price, though its a shame its been cleaned at some time. Terry

New reverse type G on an 1861 F20 penny
terrysoldpennies posted a topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Not sure if you think this a significant variation , but well here it is . pic 1, Top - P in PENNY points to the gap as on almost all G types. Bottom - P is rotated sharply left, and points almost to the tooth, and it also has the E rotated slightly to the left. This is a rare combination 1861 type Freeman 20 2+g [ Gouby D+g rated R7 . I have only seen one other on a 2+g but have also seen an example on a F28 5+g [ Gouby H+g ] . Terry -

terrysoldpennies replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Hi Mr T , both have 138 teeth on the Rev. and 143 on the Obv. so no difference there , But as Mike suggested they may have been made by different mints , one James Watt and the other the Royal Mint , this may have been an identifier, so as to know which mint manufactured which, later to use the H and KN on coins.
