About the 1951 Perth h'penny

[lacey]

If a 1951 Perth h'penny doesn't have the dot, how can you tell if it's the No Dot coin?

I think I asked this same question on another forum a long time ago, but have long since forgotten the answer.

If there is no dot after the "Y" in penny or NO PL on the coin it is a No dot :ok:

Not allways, the '51 Y. suffers from a high percentage of die fill.

The Date alignment tells the truth.
The 5 in the Y dot appears to sit lower
In the No Dot it is aligned.
