Nikon Valued Member Canada 185 Posts	Posted 07/05/2017 02:56 am Hey so I have been wondering over the past few days as I have been able to pick up three 1920 5 cent coins, some of you I am sure have seen my posts in the grading forum. One thing has bothered me with these three coins.. there are raised and flat boarder versions of the 1870's... but these in 1920 have not been recognized? why not? Thanks.

That was the case with 20th century British coins for many years - now lots of varieties are classified. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 07/08/2017 3:10 pm A variety is a coin that is different from others of the same date and denomination due to a deliberate change to one or both of the dies. Your 1920 coins come from dies that were cloned almost perfectly,any differences are as the result of die wear or imperfect striking. . Methods and materials for production were different for Victorian coins, especially earlier ones, as a result more dies were modified and varieties were produced. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
