1925 Penny - With Broken "N" Variety

Carl we will keep you in mind as I just received word today my collecting friend in the Netherlands has received the gold and silver ducats we ordered through him! Can't hardly wait for them to reach the states so I can see what the 2005's look like! I have the 1992 and 2002 silver ducats as those are the kids birth years and we tend to favor those two dates for some reason or another. Guess this 2005 is mine, all MINE!!!

Not sure exactly what you are looking for here, your questions appear to have been answered in both forums.

The broken N is thought by Jon Saxton, John Holland and John Sharples to have been either a filled die or mis-punching.

The mintage of this will probably never be known, unfortunately they did not keep records of variety dies that can currently be pinpointed.

It is generally agreed that the broken N is a scarce variety of a scarce coin.

Jon Saxtons site also mentions that the mintage of the 1925 penny is only about 117,000 odd, the rest are "most likely" to be Sydney 1924 pennies struck in 1926 "in order to use up the dies"
pra also has additional info.

Premuim over other coins?
Thats for the market, me personally, nothing, to the variety and error collectors, this is probably a must have.
But as already pointed out there are other varieties and errors for this and indeed most years around this period. Which is scarcer than than what, thats a whole new subject/topic/debate.

KLD,

when you'r born in Germany, where?, I was born here in the Netherlands, but spended most of my hollidays in Germany, almost razed in Saarbrücken, and I go each month to Goch, just across the border to do shopping, so ....

One of my main targets in collecting is the German crisis money (coins and bills) from 1914 till 1924, and the German Reich part, I have 6 books full of german coins, 4 books with notes in all cind of states, from diverse city's, Landeskreise, and also from the Ger. Goverment, I am at the moment still relisting my germany, I have to ad a few hundred extra coins on them, still have to sort out the 1, 2 and 5 Pfennige, and recheck all the crisis coins that I have double.

So if you share the same interest there, maybee we could have a nice thing to talk abouth :-)

Greetings, Carl

When you need some history back ground on coins, I always can try to be a help, if you want to speak me quickly for some reason, use MSN, on the forum I am not every day, I have a family who want's to see me from time to time
