1909 Penny Obv2/RevE

Recommended Posts

Dear members.

I am looking for some high resolution pictures of the rare 1909 Penny variant Obverse 2 + reverse E. Would like to include them into our coin catalogue. Hope somebody can help us out. Many thanks in advance :)

Cheers

Christoph

I can't help you, but London Coins have one in their March auction. Photos on their website. You would of course need permission.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to get that permission.

BTW: You own a very notable web page.

I've got this one, pretty low grade though

Just having one puts you ahead of most collectors! Was it a purchase, or the result of searching hundreds of 1909's (as we have all done)?

Hi Gary!

For our purpose is it more than sufficient :-)

It was a purchase 4-5 years ago, probably still not worth what I paid for it. :(

I'm always in two minds about this one. It's such a micro variety that normally I wouldn't care. But on the other hand it's so rare, that if I was able to find one that hadn't been noticed, I would pounce!

as would I.

trying to work out why it exists though, slight rotation on the teeth by mistake?

Or an experimental die that wasn't used in the end?

Both one of the 1908 reverses has the 1 to tooth as does the 1910. Either could have been used in a hurry.Also the 1908 1*+A has the same reverse as the 1908 1/2d, is that more than a coincidence.

There certainly seem to be no more than a handful of these in existence, and none in really great condition. It will be interesting to see what happens with the London Coins example at the weekend.

Reverse E is the 1910 die, just with a 1909 date. If that helps - probably not!
