pre-decimal coin collection 1911-64

[wwwww]

The London die, normal 1 is the most common die combination as far as i know. Its the dropped 1, indian die that is the expensive one.

Oh right, got them mixed up. :dodgy:

Although the 1931 is a london die and not worth thousands its in relatively good condition and probably still worth $10-20. Other than that the 1925 seems like the only one worth any money. That doesnt mean you should neglect the other ones. They all have nice rims and little to no damage and your mother obviously took a little care in putting the set together.

They look like London to me.

Yep,both English Trout.



With the Indian Obverse the R has a longer leg that almost touches the I, the last leg of the N in ONM points at the denticle & the 2 dots : after IMP point between the denticles.

I agree both london obverses trout. I have only ever found three indian obverses but they all had the normal 1 reverse. Theyre quite scarce but far more common than the dropped one indian. Any day of the week you can find several 1930 pennies available for sale, finding a dropped one indian in any grade is much harder.

Thanks for all the responses.

It will give my old mum a lovely surprise to know about the 1925 and 1931 pennies.

I might even try to pick up examples of the pennies I am missing.

Thanks again for the responses and advice.
