Master Jmd Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) I don't think that there are any varieties for 1916 pennies. Edited January 23, 2005 by Master Jmd Quote

christoph Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 I don't think that there are any varieties for 1916 pennies. Not strictly true - there is a minor variety of this (and same for 1915), where the king's ear looks kind of recessed as if it's been pushed back a bit. It may have been an early attempt to cure the 'ghosting' problem on the reverse, if so it was a bit of a failure! They're scarce but not rare, and very few dealers offer them for sale separately so it's worth checking all 1916s you see, if you want one. Quote
