Long reverse denticles. Nice. Find that on eBay?

Main thing that attracted my attention is the dropped A in Australia,
friend gave me a bunch of pre-decimal coppers.

Is it safe to say a dropped 'A' is always a long reverse denticle as well?

That would be a yes.
The Type "D" reverse die was tooled in Bombay.
