1897 British Large Cent-High Tide

thomaspatton · December 30, 2015

Please help me to determine if this is a high or low tide 1897 penny! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks-

Definitely a Low Tide. The High tide line is higher than that!

RLC35 (Bob) is right, another indicator is that with the High Tide variety the upright of the P in Penny points to a gap in the teeth.

American cents are pennies and English pennies are cents! Love it!

And welcome to the forum

ThomasPatton...Here is the 1897 High Tide. It also shows the position of the "P" in Penny, with regard to the tooth.

Hi Thomas

Take a look at this website - it should help you to identify penny types.
