Peckris Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I've searched the net for an image of a BU 1926 modified effigy penny, but there isn't one anywhere I can see. Sorry! (That would be my dream coin). Quote

Accumulator Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Or thisYou don't want this one, the lustre is suspect. I remember that coin (from Manchester?) and did wonder about the lustre. The 1933 and 1954 are both on my bucket list, together with the 1920 3+B!Otherwise, I have to do with this (apologies for those that have seen it before). Particularly as it only cost me a penny!
