cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 603 Posts	Posted 08/11/2008 8:45 pm I need some help with this, I just received a Australian Penny album partialy filled from ebay. I was putting some of my pennies in and checking to make sure all the ones in the book were correct. The last 2 holes in this book are blank, and there was a Penny date down. I popped it out and it is a 1916, but there is no I mm. and no spot in the album for a 16 no mm. Whats the deal with that? Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/11/2008 9:03 pm G'day, I looked up Renniks: apparently all of the 1916, 1917, & 1918 pennies were minted at Calcutta. The "I" ought to be below the scroll. I recall past discussion about some of the early WW2 Indians not having a mintmark; but I can't recall anything similar in relation to WW1-era. You might already be aware of this: the following website is very informative, particularly in relation to Australian pennies - http://triton.vg/ozcoins.html Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff

QldSandy Valued Member Australia 61 Posts	Posted 08/12/2008 10:14 pm The general consensus is that the missing I coin is a diefill from what I can find out. Below are some pics of a coin I have that is the same as above, and I also can't see any semblance of where the I was supposed to be with a 30x loupe. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
