ccnz Valued Member New Zealand 54 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 12:11 am I noticed that some Australian 1921 Pennies have 2 vertical bars by the neck collar and some only have 1 vertical bar? Are some 1921 Australian Penny coins meant to have 2 bars and some meant to have only one bar or is the a error? If so, then what variety of 1931 Australian Penny are meant to have 2 bars and which variety are meant to have 1 bar? Report this Post to the Staff

airgem Valued Member Australia 369 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 9:40 pm A pic would be helpful to pinpoint exactly what you mean but I'm assuming it is the variety "impression of N under king's chin" which exists on most pennies from 1916 to 1933. Not sure about the one bar two bar thing though. Report this Post to the Staff
ccnz Valued Member New Zealand 54 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 05:00 am I think I found the problem. Part of the neck collar on the coin I have is worn off (The detail is not great), so it looks like 1 bar. On other coins where the detail is better, the collar shows up and it looks like 2 bars. Thanks for your help. Edited by ccnz 04/17/2016 05:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
ccnz Valued Member New Zealand 54 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 4:40 pm My coin is worn on the collar, so I mistook it as a bar. I looked at the Indian and London photos of a good coin and realized my mistake. There is gap between the bar and the collar on my coin, which I think confused me. 1921 Indian 1921 London 1921 My Coin Report this Post to the Staff
airgem Valued Member Australia 369 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 6:38 pm MMMMMMMM. Well I would call it a die variety, and one I haven't noticed before. Just a quick run through of 300 I've found a few on both indian and london dies. Don't think it is die wear or die fill but needs further investigation. Report this Post to the Staff
