hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 05/01/2007 10:09 pm Below are two 1924 pennies that I picked up in a lot of 28 at a local coin store. The second one has a couple of apparent die breaks at 3 o'clock and at 9 o'clock. Gnome had mentioned that there is a less common variety of the '24.

hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 05/02/2007 07:33 am Thanks, Gnome. They may not be rare, but they still found their way from Australia to my humble collection, so they're special to me. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 04:00 am I have one from 1921 - has like a certain majority of shiny metal still clinging to it, there are patches of copper showing through...pity these aren't as rare as I wanted them to be! But nice coins, all the same.. Report this Post to the Staff
gnome Valued Member Australia 372 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 10:57 am There is a rarer variety in the 1921 1d, as well. I was fortunate to pick up a 1921 1d the other day with the London Obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 06/06/2007 1:07 pm I like the large penny. I wish Canada would have held out longer than 1920 before going to the small cent "as a matter of economy". I suspect it had more to do with falling in line with the US coinage dimensions.
