Another interesting Coin whilst i have a bit of spare time,my Brother purchased it and asked for my opinion,probaly nothing and possibly just a strike from a new Die but in hand it just seems different from a normal 27 Penny.I may be getting my dates mixed up but i have a vague memory of reading where they did some 'Special' strikes in preparation for the 1927 Proof Penny,nothing shows on Google so hoping someone here my have an Opinion.

Not sure AJ,i'll get the Scope on it during the W/end,there is something different about this Coin,just can't put my finger on it other than a nice strike.
