Here's a few things I found in a $1 bargain bin at a coin show: 1915, 1917 (2), 1918 (2), 1920 (dot below scroll), 1922, 1933, and 1916-M Florin (well the Florin was actually $5) Did I do alright?

Good looking coins Kurt.

I'm slowly working on my large Australian pennies also.

Looks like you scored well, there, Kurt.
Have another look at your 33, last 3 maybe the overdate looks like there maybe something there, the 1920 and 1922 have a look at the obverses, if the 20 is the London obverse, and the 22 is the Indian obverse, then it is a really good purchase.

Thanks for all your comments. I'm quite happy finding these, even if the 20 is the Calcutta obv, and the 22 is London. And gnome--yes, I initially thought that might be a 1933/32 because the top of the last 3 extends further down. But, I cannot find signs of an actual repunch, so I simply think different 3 punches were used?

I wouldn't write that 33 off just yet. Go to this site: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~iha...-dec-var.htm

scroll down & have a look at the 4 x 1933/32 overdates with pictures. The pics aren't huge, but hey, I'd say you've scored one.

Nancy, thanks for the link!
Well...it would be nice if that were a 1933/32, and that difference in the 3s is what got my attention.
Someone here showed me this photo of the overdate, and I'll agree that mine doesn't quite look like this:

1915-33-Pennies

In any case, my coin has an interesting last 3, and I wonder if those two different digits are common?

I just checked my 1933 1d, it's the same as yours & I've changed my mind, not an overdate.

As Nancy said,from the larger pic it doesn't look like one sorry,
Still a good purchase, though.
