    Hi Vicky, I have done quite a few measurements and it lines up very well with the N of KN. Both the slight raised section (dot) and the N are both 2.2 mm from the centre of the first 1 in date. I am getting a set of digital calipers shortly so will do some more testing once they arrive.

    This is with a different 1919H. There is some difference put let you judge! i thought it lined up nicely with the N of KN.

    Hi Matt, In Davids book P.58 Minor Varieties No.6 " On the plain type some examples have been found with a raised dot where the H would have been, had the coin been a Heaton mint example."

    Here is the coin again this time with a 1919 KN and the with between both.

    Hi All I have added 2 pictures of the coin against a normal 1919 H of about the same condition. See what you all think. As I said the coin is very worn. Cheers Brian

    Hi Vicky, definitely raised piece, no gash. As you have said it maybe just a die nick leaving a small raised piece of metal, but the area it is in makes it curious. I am not home at the moment but will post against pics of KN and H when I get back in. As I said I don't think it is of any value, more just a curiosity. Cheers Brian

    Hi Nordle, without question this 1919 penny is extremely worn, poor to good ay best. Will post it up against some of my 1919 H and 1919 KN coins later this afternoon. Curious to see were the topic leads. Cheers Brian

    For some reason I can't add or edit my post..... Anyway if it is the coin David is describing then I was just really curious of the rarity. I collect variants so its always nice to add to the collection. Thanks

    Hi Vicky, you could be right but peculiarly it is exactly were the H would be if it was a Heaton Mint coin and in David Grooms book he does state that some plain 1919 coins have a dot in that place.

    Hi All I have just been going through my stash of old pennies again and found this coin. Any idea how rare it is. The coin itself is fairly worn so not sure if it will have any value either. Any info appreciated. Thanks PS Not sure if the photo shows it clear enough.

    Hi All I would just like to say a massive thanks to this forum. I have only just came back to the hobby about a year ago after about nearly 20 years. I have found these forums a fantastic source of information and expertise as well as very friendly. I must also say a massive thanks to Pete who as been absolutely brilliant giving advice and help with both my queries and my collecting. A great guy who is always very straight to the point. a trait I admire. Cheers Brian

    Just had a good look and mine again. I think the I of Imp to tooth is due to wear and possibly some very slight damage to the rim in that area. I was looking at the scans of my coins and not the actual coins. Thanks to Pete for helping straighten me out on the point.

    I will have to have another quick check and make sure what I have.

    I also just noticed that there is also something under the R of Rex. Here is the obv.
  15. bhx7
    Here is the full reverse. Sorry about the quality of the scan. Its also housed in a carboard coin holder.
  16. bhx7
    Here is a close up section of the coin.

    Is over stamping a norm for this year too. I have one, on the reverse both I's in BRITANNIAR are printed over something else as is the F in DEF. Will try and get a good scan.

    Resurrecting this thread. But does that mean there are 3 obv for the 1911 Coin. I have one with I of BRITT to gap and I of IMP to gap and another with I of BRITT to Gap and I of Imp to Tooth (this one has Hollow Neck, at least if I understanding it correctly). So the "Gouby X" is I of BRITT to tooth? Is that the only criteria? Sorry if this is a bit basic I am just trying to learn. Thanks Brian

    Thanks Pete, Have sent you a PM.

    I tried to add to my post but it keeps telling me I dont have permission to edit it. Anyway, the 1950 and 51 penny look a lot more natural and are better than they look in the photo. The photo is from the person I bought them from.

    Thanks Pete. Trying to get the best collection I can with pretty much ZERO budget. Here are 2 of my favourite coins bought recently. They also probably cost me the most so far.

    Reverse of 1935

    Glad I came across this topic. I have come across a few George V and Elizabeth II coins, especially her Half pennies, with this trait and was going to ask the question. I have added a couple of photo's. The 1915 is a poor conditioned coin but an example of the "recessed ear" as I collect variants. The 1935 penny is alot better than it looks. Will have to learn how to take a good picture of my coins.

    Thanks J, that is an absolutely beautiful coin. I would settle for a fair-fine specimen. Think I was lucky with the 1926 ME. Found mine in a bucket for 10p and it not a bad example. Keep hoping I can do the same for the open 3. Fingers crossed.

    Thanks Pete
