amnight Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Hi! I am new to these forums and recently a 1927 One Penny came into my possession. Something on it looked strange and I couldn't figure out what.. I guessed it was the size of the date. It looks to maybe have a small date(if that is possible) or the date could be further from the rim denticles. I don't know if this is normal and wanted some help with this. Here are pics and thanks! Quote
Peckris Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 My first impression is, it looks normal? Don't forget that compared to pre-1927 reverses, it got a slight reduction in size - all over, except the rim and teeth which are a bit bigger. Quote
DaveG38 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Just looked at 5 spares of mine and they all look like yours. Quote

PWA 1967 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Always better to compare one with another .I buy low grades sometimes just to compare freeman numbers etc.Thats just a standard date. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I have found it much easier to work out freeman numbers ,varieties etc .Having the different coins in hand and comparing them was a big learning curve..I now feel confident spending money on a coin and learned a lot more studying the coin rather than just looking at a book .Its not a case of looking for something i just got familiar with freeman numbers by having low grade examples.
