Looks like a no dot Indian,very common coin in that condition,value is only a $ or so but there are members on this Forum that specialise in 1920 Oz pennies that should be along shortly.

The images are not the best so I cannot see any die markers. The reverse lettering looks to be slightly curved and if curved it is Dot Below, even if flat it could be any dot position. The strike characteristics are visible (weak inner circle,weak rims) and that rules out the No Dots and the Dot Above, Double Dot and Dot Over Top. By default that leaves the Dot Below.
The grade is VG at best, plus the coin looks cleaned and unattractive. A space filler worth a dollar.

That image clearly shows curved based lettering. That makes it 100% certain that it is a Dot Below.

Hi nealeffendi , I no your the expert on 1920 pennies, I have at least half a dozen of them but for the life of me can not tell if they are no dots dot below etc I can not actually see anything dots on them so how do I go about working out what they are.
Is it possible to send you some pics or should I just post them here 1 at a time. ?
I just want to fill my albums with the correct ones but I have absolutely no idea . Curved base letters buy that do you mean the foot of each letter.?
Any help would be much appreciated sir. Thank you in advance.

Neal I just checked I have exactly 12 1920 pennies, to me they all look identical , same as the one listed above , I can not see any dots above or below top or bottom scrolls,
Could I be that un lucky. Surely there not all dot below coins. But knowing my luck they probably are.
I tried to check the lettering but I'm just not sure if any are different. If you could point out exactly what to look for in the lettering id may help me. Regards Sweetap.

It is difficult to tell much from the images. I normally examine the pennies with good lighting and a 10 or 15X loupe to spot the finer points. That being said all those pennies look to be the Indian obverse (common) and none are better than average circulation grade.

Thanks nealeffendi yes I actually looked up on google and found out how to tell Indian and London die differences.
Last leg lines up with the outer dot on the N in OMN means its an Indian die, Yes all mine line up with the dot on the outer means there all Indian die coins as you said. Like I said that's my luck.
Can you tell me what dots they should have on them as I can not see any at all. But I did read one of your posts that says there all dot below but because of die fill they don't show or are very weak, I have used a magnifying glass and I can not for the life of me see any dots any where above or below top or bottom scroll. Is this correct. Thanks any ways for your trouble.

If they are even slightly curved base reverse lettering then they are Dot Below. Some are obvious curves and some look flat until you examine them closely.
If they are flat then they could be any dot position or true No Dots.
Don't be surprised to find you only have Indians as they were over 95% of the total and cherry picking has made them scarcer.
