Hussulo Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Hi can anyone please tell me what the differences are between a normal 1922 Penny reverse, and the ones with 1927 reverses? Quote
TomGoodheart Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) The bust was modified in 1926. These muled coins therefore have the earlier bust type with a normal 1927 reverse. The most obvious change (but only on higher quality coins) is the shifting of the designer's initials (BM) from the 'middle' of the edge of the neck to the right hand side. 1920 1927Full photos are available on Andy's site (Online and search for cointype "Pennies" with dates between 1920 and 1930 and with the gallery option checked ).(Sorry for nicking the images Andy, but they are such great coins!)

Rob Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Hi can anyone please tell me what the differences are between a normal 1922 Penny reverse, and the ones with 1927 reverses? The 1922 reverse has the shield closer to the border than the 1927 reverse. Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Additionally and simplest, on the reverse of 1922, the center trident tine touches a border tooth.... On the reverse of 1927, the central trident tine is below the border tooth...see attached images.... Type of 1922 ------Type of 1927 Quote

So are these the differences that I am looking for when searching through 1922 pennys for the Extremly Rare type? Quote
Hussulo Posted August 24, 2006 Author Posted August 24, 2006 I'v checked them and all the tridents touch the border, but I now know what to look out for. Cheers Quote
Guest E. Dawson Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 Hey, how about just looking at the more pronounced edge beading on the 1927 types? I want to see a mint state specimen of these "hybrids" as all those coming up for sale in recent years that I have seen are in the VG to Fine or worse levels. The specimen version must be worth quite a bit these days & would hate to see the auction results. Quote
Guest Tina Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I have one of these coins, can anyone tell my its value please? Quote
PWA 1967 Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 What exactly do you have Tina ?. Really need a clear picture to give a value but could be a good few quid Quote
