I hate to break your bubble but that's a normal 1922, but you probably already knew that given the lovely pictures you've provided.

Lol, I love his "I'll take £16,000" comment. If he gives me £50 I'll take it off his hands and dispose of it in a large hole

The 'untrue' 27 reverse as some might say! So goddam jealous.

[SWANNY]

So whats the difference between the three coins ?

The waves just above the date area are different to my eyes. But I assume there are other markers?

Things pointing to teeth and micrometre differences in trident position and such, .... as beloved by the Penny boys!

The thumb of Britannia should extend past the lines on the shield. Look at the first one, then the other 2, the thumb is noticeably more extended

[Nordle11]

The easiest tell tale is that massive border but for confirmation the right serif of the second 'N' in PENNY should point between two teeth.

[RLC35]

So whats the difference between the three coins ?

The difference in the coins are as follows.

1) This is a regular 1922, with the normal reverse. The trident touches the tooth.

2) This is a 1922, with a reverse of 1927. The trident is short of, or below, the tooth

3) This is a regular 1927 Penny. This year continues the trident being shorter, and not touching the tooth.

Sorry, Bob's quite right, I was only referring to the 1922 penny with the 27 reverse, I should have said!

But it's not a 1922 rev 1927, so give it a break.

Sadly I don't think I'll ever be able to be a penny collector.......

Sadly I don't think I'll ever be able to be a penny collector.......

Agreed. I consider that I have a good eye for detail. But all these tiny little differences? They just don't do it for me at all.

You don't have to collect the varieties. For every nerd there are far more people who just want an example of each date.

And agreed again ... makes me wonder, is the huge interest in these nano-varieties for pennies largely fuelled by Spink choosing to list and value some of them individually, while largely ignoring this degree of granularity for most other denominations?
