David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 6:27 pm Hmmm... looking at the pic on this site 2 denticle lengths would reach the bottom of the P in Penny which is what I seem to have. The site says this is the long denticle reverse. Now I'm confused. Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 11/05/2020 03:20 am Hmm. still not 100%. Will put it in as short but would love to see a comparative pic of both long and short to be certain. Report this Post to the Staff
coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1364 Posts	Posted 11/05/2020 05:35 am David, looking out your photos it would appear that yours is a standard 1943 Bombay penny. If you compare the thin denticle under the dot on each coin you will see that the one on the left hand side is proportionally longer from the rim to the dot. Also the same can be said for the thin denticle under the letter P. Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 11/05/2020 8:11 pm @echidna - Many thanks. I didn't know that PCGS has a reference library like this. Awesome! You learn something everyday. (At least us older folk do!) Report this Post to the Staff
