Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 12:05 am Wow nice coin. Um....... going to be very hard to find out what year I will add some pics from sterling currency dates. Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 12:12 am If the obverse doesn't have ind imp then it must be 1949. If it Does have it then it will be near impossible. But a nice coin anyway! Report this Post to the Staff
Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 12:26 am The only thing I could narrow down is there is no dot after Y Can you post a pic of the date close up :) Unsure if the pics will help, but you can have a look at the date there may be some differences, sometimes the joining loop in the 9 is slightly different Edited by Australian coin 04/05/2012 12:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 01:13 am I dont know if looking at the date would be accurate as I suspect even on coins of the same date there is slight differences in the dies. I dont think you will ever know. It is a ripper mistrike though! Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 01:30 am Well at least you know that 1949 can be ruled out. That narrows the field by 10%. Nice error regardless of the year. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 03:03 am spg1: your original reverse pic seems to have been replaced. If you upload two pics with the same filename (in this case, "194x.jpg") on the same day, the first one gets over-written on the server. You'll have to change the name or re-upload the reverse pic tomorrow. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
spg1 Valued Member Australia 363 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 04:27 am Thanks SAP. That's a little annoying. I will post the reverse again tomorrow after work. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff Pillar of the Community Australia 877 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 04:57 am Don't worry, I would be happy to swap for one each of every 1940s year penny and you will be able to read the date easily of every one. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff

appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 07:51 am Upwards of $200 I think because I just bought a similar coin & paid just over $150 but the coin I bought has a rather detracting scratch & slightly less off cantre so $200 + might be closer to the mark,could be in the mid hundreds if on the day there are many bidders.
