Thank you so much to the couple of people who have messaged me...........

The 1901 though has the last ONE over a gap.

Sometimes due to light etc its hard to tell when you first start looking.

Believe me i have looked at hundreds

Probably the first and last time I will see anyone get excited about a 1937 penny.

@terrysoldpennies Terry, was the 1937 sold to you as a proof?

Yes Mike, but I don't think he knew it was the unlisted 2+B type.

It appears that the 1901 has the last 1 over a gap because the 1 is tilted slightly. Have you by any chance checked with Michael Gouby that the one he talks about in his book was also tilted  ?

[PWA 1967 1,841]

It  also does not touch the tooth as the normal one does ,as in the first 1 in the date.

Gouby was sent a picture of one in 2010 , but never actually handled the coin. There is in fact three types but the middle one is so similar to the normal one as to make it extremely difficult to tell them apart.  I should add that although slightly rotated the 1 is also closer to the 0 than on the other two.
