josie Valued Member Ireland 498 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 03:28 am just sorting up my circulated worn great penny coins found that in 1907 most coins that I have has a wider space on word on BRITT: OMN in 1908 to 1910 I noticed that it is much closer BRITT:OMN is tere any variety in ,in 1907 to 1908 for I got a 1908 but looks like wider space BRITT: OMN thus it worth more than the closer colon variety Edited by josie 09/21/2006 2:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 04:18 am I can confirm some of your findings. I checked my eleven samples of coins between 1902 and 1907, and all 11 samples are seperated more as you discribed. The nine samples I checked between 1908 and 1910, are all closer together as you discribed. So, your not going crazy. I looked in my Krause catalog and there is no mention of this change listed. Perhaps Josie, you have discovered a lost secret of British pennies. I never knew about it before, so thank's for being this difference to the attention of the forum.
