bobo13 Valued Member Bulgaria 474 Posts	Posted 04/17/2014 09:20 am Hi all :) Today received small lot of Australian coins, including this coin which has double die letters on obverse. Does anyone have any information on some website can see varieties for similar DDO or DDR bronze pennies of George V? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

bobo13 Valued Member Bulgaria 474 Posts	Posted 04/17/2014 5:44 pm It is 1919. Also there are many lines indicate that the die has been scratched, maybe? Also has interesting Crown pearls - all are elongated and inclined. Edited by bobo13 04/17/2014 6:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 04/17/2014 8:25 pm Nice DDO on the lines I think it would have been die polish lines or something of the sort as they are raised rather than incuse. Report this Post to the Staff

The die doubling seems to appear more often on the Indian obverse coins but it's not a common thing. Your coin looks like it has had very little circulation bobo,any chance of full pics of both sides? Edited by appleangel07 04/17/2014 8:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
