Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 7:08 pm I think this really deserves it's own topic, as it turns out I have more of these than I thought. Here are 6 that I already had images for. Australia Ha'penny 1917 Upset App 335° C2 Australia Ha'penny 1920 Upset App 45° C1 Australia Ha'penny 1921 Upset App 30° C6 Australia Ha'penny 1922 Upset App 30° C1 Australia Ha'penny 1922 Upset App 30° C2 Australia Ha'penny 1946 Upset App 338° C1 Some of the images were done with the coin still in the 2x2, so that explains the fuzzyiness. As some are numbered, C2, C6 etc, it appears I may have multiples of some, but unless I find them (unlikely at this point in time), I can't confirm that fact. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

squaremealroundplate Valued Member Australia 185 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 01:46 am Thanks Nevol I now have a fair bit of checking to do, and a little more closely.....and with stronger glasses !! I now remember what a real buzz it was in the early 1960's to, 1st, get a full ( as possible ) set of both Half Pennies and Pennies, and 2nd, get as many of the varieties as I could, then, as a 13 year old paperboy, get and/or swap. And the very interesting learning curve continues..... Report this Post to the Staff

ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 6:35 pm Hmmm interesting seem like early half pennies and pennies have this problem (error/variety), I feel it is more a quality control thing back then, they just didn't really cared if the coins were upset....

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 07/16/2018 12:41 am I'm sure they cared but the dies were able to rotate in the press and the correct orientation was done by eye I believe. Report this Post to the Staff
oindarwin New Member Australia 37 Posts	Posted 01/03/2019 07:34 am if you put the pennies (easier if all same reverse) into one of those plastic coin holder sheets (42 places for coins ) make sure they are all facing the same way and straight up and down ..flip the sheet over and very easy to see the rotated ones Report this Post to the Staff
