An Interesting 1898 Penny

Recommended Posts

I've got plenty of them and I'd be happy to look through for something specific if it helps?

looking for more 1898s and 1895s so far found 3 varieties of 1895, the 2mm all appear identical but hard to find spares of the 1mm with intact border beads

date differences on the 1mm quite striking, but is there a slight difference in the relationship of the drapery, waves and rocks to the union flag on the shield?? scans done together at roughly the same orientation

correction lighting from the opposite direction shows NO difference in the 2 1mm reverses - top image is a 2mm

still looking for another wide date(s)

Thanks for that, David. Never seen a wide date 1895 before. Of course the difference is only marginal, but clearly discernible to the naked eye.
