molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 12:43 pm I'm sorry for the vauge question! I'm not very good in English. I was trying to say are they old effigy or the modified effigy (it has changed in 1926/7) of George V on the coins, to rephrase the question. :) Edited by molydeii 05/08/2020 12:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 1:24 pm The 1927 is Modified Effigy as all 1927 pennies are. The 1926 is the old effigy - which is the more common one. The usual way of telling the difference is by the initials on the truncation (base of bust). On the ME the BM are close together, without dots between and set far to the right of the available space. On the old effigy, they are further apart, separated by dots and towards the centre of the truncation. If you can't see this, the colon between BRITT and OMN is another good lead. On the old effigy this is central between the T and the O, on the ME it much closer to the T. I hope that helps! Report this Post to the Staff
