1908 penny with a larger 0

Recommended Posts

Hello! 

I have noticed one of my 1908 pennies as a slightly bigger zero, and the 1 is over the thoot .

Is this very common? 

Thanks in advance.

This was the very first image that came up on google, so unless a coincidence, I'd say not rare:

Your top picture and the one Peck posted are both the scarcer REV C and probably were the difference is.

Thanks for your reply 👍, yes it makes sense now.

I was looking at my Freeman book, but I was in the wrong page 1908 half penny that's why I was confused.

 As Pws mentioned this is reverse C, and I was looking at the wrong page in my book.
