serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 06:57 am you will actually find the mintage is 110,000 on the 1925 oh and I would say aVf but pre decimal copper is not my forte. Edited by serial 02/23/2014 06:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17980 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 09:36 am Thanks Serial. The mintage is definitely wrong in Krause - both my 1985 and 2001 editions show it as 1,639,000 - interestingly, it was valued at US$30 in Fine in 1985! I'd never realised this was such a scarce coin. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 10:02 am The mintage was 117,000. The coin is nominally at least VF to gVF (8 pearls and centre diamond) but looks as though it has had a light polish and has a few other issues so not worthy of slabbing. Krause doesn't do non US coins very well. For some coins in the 2014 edition they have not updated the values since I purchased my 2001 edition. Report this Post to the Staff

wwwww Pillar of the Community Australia 541 Posts	Posted 03/05/2014 8:40 pm The penny mintage in 1925 was 949,600, 832,000 at the Sydney mint and 117,600 at the Melbourne mint. As the Sydney mint didn't have 1925 dies on hand it is presumed they struck pennies using 1924 dies and so therefore only 117,600 pennies were dated 1925. http://www.bluesheet.com.au/Austral..._V/1925_(MS) OP your coin is real but it's been harshly cleaned.
