Title: 2004 20c
Post by: coxspau on July 16, 2013, 12:28:37 PM
Can someone please give me some pointers on how I can identify large head or small head on the 2004 20c?

I'm sitting on 20 x 2004 20c pieces and they all look the same to me.

Maybe you have all small heads (unlikely to be all large heads). Have a look at this...

I have plenty of the large if you want any.

Good pic Jeff.

Coxspau, the big ones have a pointy A.

Thanks Jeff and Unicorn.

My 20 coins were all small heads. At least I know what to look for next time.

Pointy A's are getting tough to find. I'd average maybe one or two per thousand nowadays. Mintage was 400,000 IIRC.

In 9 years of looking I've only ever found one.

I'm in the same boat as Mr T, only ever found one.

As I said, I have quite a few. PM me if you want some at face value (+ postage).

Don't the 2004 mint sets have all big heads?
I recall some had pointy A but others a flat A and same for 50c 2004?

Nup, 50/50, and four different combos of course.
All circulation 50¢ were flat, as were most 20¢.
