bhx7 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Hi All Got a bit of a curio and want to get everyones opinion. I noticed that there are a couple of unusual marks on this 1893 penny on the reverse. The dot between the trident and P of penny and also the line above the 1 in the date. just looking for general thoughts. Thanks Brian Quote

Nordle11 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I would agree looking at the rest of the field, there are other gouges present across the reverse. Quote
secret santa Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Definitely spurious damage during circulation. I blame Freeman and Gouby for recording the 1897 dot and 1946 splodge as varieties ! Still, it keeps us all on our toes. Quote
bhx7 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks guys. Appreciate that. I was most curious about the line above the 1. Cheers Brian Quote
azda Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I really think we need a section for pennies. There is so many different threads on this subject that it's taking over ther forum. 1 thread of pennies with sub sections. if I see another post about pennies I'll scream.......? 1 Quote

Anyone think the 1897 dot penny has a F number? Quote
