Chris Perkins Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Michael Freeman has asked me to bring this to your attention."Could you mention that Heritage are auctioning next month the only known 1926 penny with Modified Effigy AND the 1927-36 reverseS. 4054A.In Long Beach auction no. 3042.I am sure lots of British penny collectors don't know this, and would be very interested in it."Here's a link: http://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/george-v-modified-effigy-penny-1926-au-details-altered-surfaces-pcgs-/p/3042-31060.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-071515 Quote
Coinery Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 A very generous heads-up for the penny boys, I sincerely hope it goes to a forum member! Thank-you Michael! Quote

Nordle11 Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I imagine Steve (Accumulater) might be interested on here. Good luck to you though Pete! Edited August 2, 2015 by Nordle11 Quote

Mr T Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Is S-4054A the book reference or something else? And any provenance?Michael Freeman has asked me to bring this to your attention."Could you mention that Heritage are auctioning next month the only known 1926 penny with Modified Effigy AND the 1927-36 reverseS. 4054A.In Long Beach auction no. 3042.I am sure lots of British penny collectors don't know this, and would be very interested in it."Here's a link: http://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/world-coins/george-v-modified-effigy-penny-1926-au-details-altered-surfaces-pcgs-/p/3042-31060.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515Does Michael know who the owner of the coin is? btw...I can't see that the index finger is any shorter than the regular coin.

sound Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Just a reminder of what the bog standard 'rarity' looks like Quote
DaveG38 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 On a slightly different tack, do we know how this coin came to be produced? Deliberate test by the mint, a worker mucking about and producing a mule? And are there likely to be others out there that haven't been found yet? Quote
davidrj Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I wasn't even aware this type existed.see http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/8353-1922-penny-reverse-of-1927/#entry94002, Bernie mentions the 1926 variants Quote

InforaPenny Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 The 6 of the date doesn't look right to me. It seems too narrow...Makes me wonder if is an altered date 1927?Best Regards,InforaPenny Quote
jacinbox Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 The 6 of the date doesn't look right to me. It seems too narrow...Makes me wonder if is an altered date 1927?Best Regards,InforaPennySecond that ..... (also was the surface altered to mask the doctored date?) Quote

azda Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 The 6 does look dodgy, look at the bottom loop of it both sides, something is poking out Quote
Coinery Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Trying a bigger imageThat looks like a 4 underneath that 6? The 2 looks tampered with too?My penny knowledge is not top-notch, and I can't be doing with digging the books out, but would a 3 beneath the 2 also be something worth looking at? Quote
RLC35 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Are we sure the slab is real?You can take the slab number, and verify it with the grading company. Quote
Coppers Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Even if the slab is real, is it possible that PCGS got this one wrong? Quote
Rob Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Even if the slab is real, is it possible that PCGS got this one wrong?Of course it is possible. Every TPG has got some wrong. Cleaned, repaired, mis-attributed and anything else I've forgotten. Quote
