1943 Bombay Penny Upset 10.15 To 10.30

I think upsets are more common with predecimal coins but I think big upsets are still pretty scarce.

Oh dear. I'm terribly sorry, but my knowledge of Pre-Decimal varieties and errors would fit on one side of a 3d.

I've done some searches in The Australian Coin Forum and can't find any references to upset 1943 Pennies there either.

I've been able to find some very helpful details about all pre-decimal coins on http://www.triton.

I knew I had " somewhere " a Sunday Telegraph November 28, 1965, article which lists the, then, values of most known upset pennies. I kept this article from my younger Sunday morning newpapers selling days on the corner of Grey and Fitzroy sts. St.Kilda. This area was very " educational " for me.

As Murphy's law has it, I was looking for something else and, luckily, I found this P.21 article from 1965.

A fascinating list of upset pennies and their, then, values, from 1916 to 1963. One of the more valuable pennies on the list is a 1950 Perth penny at 6 o'clock valued at 100/- ( shillings ) in Fine and 110/- in EF. The 1950 Perth penny has 22 o'clock varieties from 1 o'clock to 11.30.

The 1962 and 1963 pennies, according to the list, are the most extensive rotated issues - 23 different o'clock rotations. Interestingly, the 1963 Perth penny at 6 o'clock is 100/-, 6.30 110/- and the 7 o'clock 120/- in fine condition.

I hope the above newpaper article is of some interest to other ACC forum members.
