I know die errors are only of interest to some collectors and do not merit a premium, but I just found these and thought they were rather cute, especially the pimple on the 1917 http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/IMG_0667.jpg http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/1917_dot.jpg

Just looked at it through my loupe, and I am wondering if the dirt between the teeth are causing an illusion, of the first 4 being more over the tooth than it is. Anyway although I have taken another photo that is quite large, it is still not very good: http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/IMG_0640.jpg

I shall try and get a clearer better picture Accumalator, because I would really value your opinion.

But here it is anyway: http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/1911.jpg

Ah I see it now, still don't see it on mine though. I would take a photo, but I am afraid of the pity and head shaking that may result from my efforts The 'I' of BRITT is also a bit confusing as that 'I' on the pic looks like mine - off to the left

I have a 1911 with a Britt 'I' to the left of tooth, the vertical line 'R' of GRA pointing to a tooth. FID 'I' to Gap. DEF : to tooth. No hollow neck (although I don't really get the hollow neck part, but mine looks like th flat neck in the picture above)Many varieties indeed

Do you mean the 1944 Accumalator?

Actually I found a thread on here today concerning the 1944 pointing at beads. So I have some info at last. Groom does cover it but I got more info off here.

Lol it is definately there Declan that little tail, but as you say not photographed very well.

Going through my pennies looking at oddities, saw this tiny tail sticking out from the 8 on a 1948 penny. Stamp over or mint error or something else? http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/eight.jpg

Although I do agree it is not the rare variety 1920. It is definately not the Obverse 3 either as there are quite a few differences between Ob 3 and the one I have. Also I have looked at Accumalator's 1944 and mine is different again, so there must be many more viarieties than what have been discovered in Groom's book, and others. My 1944:

LOl, I use Accumalator's site so much; ave done for months. Beautiul pennies. But I have never checked out the 1922 1927 reverse. Shall do so now

Thank you Peter, Paulus and Accumalator. You're all very helpful and I appreciate and respect your input.

Pic of full Obverse in higher format and size: http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/fullob.jpg

Thanks for you responses., I really appreciate your input. Yes Declan, I love looking for varieties. For example I have a 1944 that has both 4s pointing at teeth And I really recently found a 1926 Modified Effigy. The 1922 reverse 1927 still eludes me as does the 1897 High tide. It is fascinating

Also the tapering and the Fid Def are different: It looks like the Def on the one I thought was rare is further away The none rare I thought was rare (lol) is on the top. http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/fiddef.jpg http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/taperingT.jpg

Just out of interest, this is a pic of two 1920. The one on top is the one I thought was the rare 1920, and there seems to be a an extra bit running down the side of the A in GRA. I am not clutching at staws lol, I just see so many differences between these two 1920s http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p328/rebelesque/grabritt.jpg

Yes thanks for the pictures Declan. There is a big difference between the gap of the OB 3 GRA BRITT and the OB 2. I have not managed to see a comparison as with the pictures you have shown. I really appreciate the effort thanks so much.

I got the David J Groom book and compared this coin to another 25 1920s I have.. Now unfortunately the teeth on this have worn on the top near the imp. But all the other characteristics check out. Also I have looked at the IMP colon through a loupe and it is pointing at what would be a tooth. One characteristics in Groom's images the DEF IND colon under a tooth, but I checked all my 1920 and the colon is pointing at a tooth. In the one I am thinking is the rare one the colon points between the teeth of Def IND. Also Groom mentions a raised dot near the 1 of the date, mine too has this dot.

This forum was recommended to me by a member on another forum because I had a question about the 1920 George V rarer penny. I have one of these in which the colon after imp points to a tooth, and all the other characteristics of this variety, including the tiniest dot by the one in the date. Despite numerous searches on the Internet and at online auctions I have not been able to find a value for this coin. If anyone has any information please can you advise. Thanks.
