Chris, When I sign on, the following code comes up...2S100/1 "Page doesn't exist". If I hit activity after this code, then the Forum come up correctly. Just a fyi...

Nice coin Bernie, Verdigris or not!

The coin that you have the link to, sure looks like it has been cleaned, especially in the field, on the reverse below "Penny" (friction lines) Still a nice coin, but I agree it is overpriced. I hope he gets it!

That one works, Thanks!

Really nice Nordle. I especially like the way the Reverse is sharply struck!

Reverse 1.......

Die fill is another possibility but I think Bernie has resolved it. He is registered as Mal on this forum and he replied to my PM but I haven't heard back from him since. I conversed with him on facebook. He said he still sells the disks. They are 15 pounds, plus postage. You can probably find him on facebook easier than the Forum, as he doesn't seem to visit the Forum that much.

Here is the High Tide. The center Trident Tine looks to point slightly different...or is that just my eyes crossing! LOL!

Here is the Low Tide Farthing. I will send the HT on another post...size is too big to put here.

David, I have a pair of Low and High Tide Farthings, but there isn't a "P" on the Farthing to check. The only thing I can see different from one to the other is the center Trident tine points a little different on one than the other. I will get some pics later and send them. Both coins are in holders, and I have to take them out and take the pics.

I did have a great Birthday today, capped off with Pizza Party tonight with my family. Also Thanks for the many well wishers from the Forum Members! Merry Christmas to you and your Family also Pete !

Above is my 1922 "no D" (strong reverse) in Fine condition. This is the coin Vicky is referring too!

Pete, Remember this is the Christmas Season of Good Will, etc!

Thanks to everyone for the Birthday Wishes. Here in the "Colonies" the weather is unseasonably warm (60 yesterday, about the same today). I think the weatherman accomplished this, just for my Birthday!

It looks like the 8 might have been punched to high originally, and then re-punched lower, to make it in alignment with the other characters.....

As jelida said, it's the proto-1927 reverse, not the real 1927 reverse (Freeman didn't distinguish between the two). The four different 1922-dated pennies are: Freeman 192: 3+B/Gouby C+b Freeman 192A: 3+C/Gouby C+c Freeman -: 3+C/Gouby C+d (the proofs for the 1924 proof sets) Freeman 192B: 4+C/Gouby D+d (the one secret santa is referring to, first mentioned at http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/9753-1922-penny-with-1927-reverse-confirmation/?p=125335) I hope I got that all correct! Mr T, I think you are right about your last two examples, but "all" reference books refer to the F192A, as the 1922, with 1927 Reverse. The F192A is very rare. but the other (last) two examples you mention are almost unobtainable. I think the F192B might be the "Specimen" 1922/27. (not sure though, as I have never seen one, unless the recent Heritage auction example was one.) Above are pics of my F192A...

No, this is a 1922 with 1927 reverse Did anyone hear a echo? LOL!

:DThat's a stonker of a coin though Bob, a nice find! Thanks Guys. It is a F-191 (colon after DEF: to the tooth).

That's the real McCoy! A 1922, with a 1927 Reverse. F192A.

Bob that must of been stashed in a virgins silk knickers for the last 94 years. Stunning example. I did buy it off of a Lady! Ha,Ha!

New purchase, just arrived. Gem 1921 Penny...

The difference in the coins are as follows. 1) This is a regular 1922, with the normal reverse. The trident touches the tooth. 2) This is a 1922, with a reverse of 1927. The trident is short of, or below, the tooth 3) This is a regular 1927 Penny. This year continues the trident being shorter, and not touching the tooth.

Here you go Peter. My 1922/27 is like the middle one.

Details of 1904 Pennies for your delectation: Closed ‘9’ where the loop of the ‘9’ narrows to a point and meets the down stroke. This type has a narrow ‘4’, particularly on the horizontal and diagonal strokes, tilted clockwise and low down in the exergue. The foot of the ‘4’ is over a border tooth (number 11, when counted from the tooth under the ‘1’), giving a narrow date. Closed ‘9’ with a narrow ‘4’, not tilted clockwise or low down in the exergue. The foot of the ‘4’ is over the space between teeth numbers 11 and 12. Closed ‘9’ with a narrow ‘4’, which is high in the exergue. The foot of the ‘4’ is over the right of border tooth 12, giving a wider date. Open ‘9’ where the loop of the ‘9’ is blunt and does not touch the down stroke. The ‘4’ is wider, closer to the exergue line and the whole coin is a dark colour. Open ‘9’ where the ‘4’ is again wider, but the whole coin is a light brown colour.There are also unconfirmed reports of three further types: A closed ‘9’ type paired with a thicker ‘4’. An open ‘9’ with a narrow ‘4’. An open ‘9’ type, with a wide ‘4’ but with a short plume to Britannia’s helmet.I just looked at 4 examples that I have, and all of them are Open 9, with 11.5 teeth in date width.
