Ok after talking about spurs on the 1919 and 20 penny's and having a bit more of a look at my bulk lot I found this so wonder what other years have these spurs..might have to take another pic with the scope :)

Only 1922 that I know of.....
Cool, thanks NP I'll keep an eye out with my next batch :good:
They exist on every year from 1916 to 1927 plus they are rarely found for a couple of other years.
So a pretty common error, but still good to find :good:
a saleable error AJ
people collect them for their errors collections
I have sold a lot over the years
ps - look for the full die clash on those ones
the king's effigy can be quite spectacular
you haven't posted the whole reverse but it looks as of the clash is above the PENNY so it might be one of those
When dies clash often both dies are damaged. Look under the kings chin for an impression of an N. Also sometimes the back of the kings head has the loop of the O and makes the king look like a tobyjug.
For some reason those faults are incuse and not raised.
