decimal two pence varieties

[Guest]

Hello, this is my first post on the forum so forgive me if my wording is not correct. After reading posts on 1 penny varieties I was wondering if anyone has done any research on 2 pences except just.me's post in 'Portcullis varieties on decimal penny' If anyone has then I would be very grateful if they could share it.

Thanks for your input

Hi thazz. David J Groom's book "The Identification of British 20th Century Bronze Coin Varieties" Covers all the Decimal Coins. 1971 2 pence has no less than 3 reverses as does 1975. 1976 has 2. 1977 has 2 obverse and 2 reverse types. there are a few others with different obverse and reverse types also the proofs of different years have  different obverse and reverse types. So yes a good book for 20th century bronzes and decimal issues. a must have book really. He also has the same book but title slightly different it is the silver and cupro edition.
