pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 12:28 pm I've got a 1932 penny with the same type of effect -- I thought it was just a gas bubble in the planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 3:45 pm Not a ghost, the shape of the 'ghost image' is not right. It needs to look like the image of a clashed die, but softer. A "ghost" is a different concept initially used to describe Great Britain's bronze coins of Edward VII and George V in particular. Pennies and halfpennies of 1902-26 often show a hollowed outline of the King's head around the figure of Britannia. This was attributed to the royal effigy being too large for the flan, and effectively "sucking" metal away from the other side. It was one of the reasons for the adjustments made to the effigy in 1926-27 and then the reduced size of the effigy from 1928.
