Hi All,
Im new to this forum and new to coin collecting. After researching the net it has come to my attention i may have a valuable coin in my possession, 1920 One Penny with dot under lower scroll. However im unable to find any valuation on the net as to what the penny may be worth. Would anybody here be able to give me an estimation as to what the penny may be worth??
Kind Regards
Sally

We will need images of the entire coin (Both Sides) before anyone can determine a rough estimate of the value of this coin :ok:
BTW
This thread should have been posted in the Pre decimal section of the forum :angel:

Resize your images 600x600 is good and make sure they are jpg :ok:
Have a look here for info which may help out. Condition of the coin is important as well. http://triton.vg/pennies.html

Hi Sally, welcome to the Forum.
It looks like you have a Dot Above (not under) lower scroll with Indian obverse. Minted at Sydney Mint in about late 1920. Both the Dot Above Indian and Dot Below Indian are relatively common and your penny is in slightly below average circulated condition with only about 2 pearls showing on the obverse. Worth about $2-3 dollars but still a nice penny to have (yes, I'm biased to the 1920 penny, once you start collecting you will find yourself drawn to particular years or denominations).
As a new collector I'd advise you to get a coin catalogue. Both Renniks and McDonalds are handy books that can be purchased from many coin dealers or online for under $40 and cover most Australian Decimal and pre Decimal coins.

While you are in your gallery, get the image you want to post on screen, down the bottom you will see a Forum Linking Code, copy that & paste it into you post. When you're finished and post your reply, the image will appear in your post.
If in doubt, use Preview Post to check it out first.
Example below, with arrows showing the bit you need to copy.

Just wondering why this thread is in the Circulating Decimals topic?

It's a rare error thread, highly sort after on some decimal collector forums.
