sfitzernator Valued Member Australia 271 Posts	Posted 05/29/2019 05:46 am Hi All, I have been going through some of the pennies I have in my collection, and at some time or another I purchased a mix already in 2x2's. A past owner has labelled some of the later dates (ie 42,43 & 44) as K.G's. I am baffled why he or she would label these dates, but before I break them out of the 2x2's to take a better look, is there such a thing as K.G mint mark associated with these years? Or could the collector have been referring to something else? Please let me know your thoughts, comments welcome. Edited by sfitzernator 05/29/2019 05:48 am Report this Post to the Staff

I can see a very faint G, which is observable under magnification, but I can't see anything else. Report this Post to the Staff

It's probably someone who doesn't know the significance of K.G and is using his/her spelling skills to put a punctuation mark after the letters. Report this Post to the Staff
