I came here looking for answers to this question but see nothing on the topic of recent in the forum at least, so I will try to phrase the question. As you may or may not be aware the 1922 penny has 3 varieties. Wide date variety. Wide date toenail nine variety. Plain variey. Images of next. Wide date variety. Wide date toenail variety. Plain variety. My question - is the only way to tell these apart to line the physical coins up and then gauge the 2 wide date varieties as wider than the plain, and the toenail wide date variety as having that tiny bit longer 9?

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 05:33 am I think there was an article about the 1922 penny varieties in a recent Coin and Banknote Magazine article (and I think there were more than three varieties). I think the trick is to hold a piece of straight paper against the front or back of some of the date digits and see whether they cross through a bead or not. Report this Post to the Staff

Also English and Indian obverse so. There are a number of different date position varieties with several each of wide and extra wide dates. Several exist with the toenail.
