Hi all. I know that during the 1950s and 1960s there were a great number of years where the small cents had "hanging" numbers. I currently own 1955 hanging 5, 1957 hanging 7, 1962 hanging 2 and 1963 hanging 3. What other years from the above mentioned 2 decades have hanging varieties?
Thank you in advance

You are speaking of die clashes - they can be found in every year in those two decades, including the George VI coins. The clash marks can occur in various forms, or as multiple clash marks.

Thank you SPP. Yes I am talking about the die clashes that give the "hanging" appearance. So if I understand your answer correctly, every year in the 50s and the 60s will have that. Right?

1965 is a bit of a hunt, 1966 and 1967 are very hard to find. The rest can be found with a bit of patience and a good eye. CCF member mysterious_dr_x specifically collects die clashes, so his experience might be a bit more enlightening.

To me, there is no price premium for a small die clash like this. If you are patient enough, you'll find them all without paying a premium price...
