EDIT: FWIW, I think the proof coins are similar as well.

Pellet dots, stretched dots, dots before my eyes:

I read somewhere that the mintage for the narrow 55 type was about a million. The Perth obverse type (PCGS #598572) is included in the penny registry set but the narrow 55 type is not.

Yes Rob, I thought they would have given it a gersey seeing they have chosen to differentiate between the #8 and #9 obverses for that year. Another they have missed is the 1956Y. with the #8 Melbourne obverse, and I thought they would also have included the 1957Y. wide date. So when they get around to addressing these three, all that's left will be at least four of the date varieties they are missing from 1922 :biggrin: Can't be too critical though, they have made huge inroads lately. :good:

Let me see if I have this correct. With the 1956Y the scarcity is opposite to that of the 1955Y. The 1955Y with the Type 9 ("Perth") obverse is "rare" but the 1956Y with the Type 8 (Melbourne") obverse is rare/scarce.

I'm guessing the first step to inclusion in the set registry is recognition with a PCGS# which they have done:

The 1957Y wide date:

As for the 1922, I wonder if they have a copy of "1922 Penny Research - Warts And All"? If not they might be in need of it.

Yes, from what I've read, the Melbourne obverse 8 die that was supplied to the Perth Mint for the 1955Y. mintage was to be replaced by a Perth Mint made obverse 9 die for the 1956Y. At some point following the manufacture of this replacement die, it was somehow paired with a 1955Y. reverse die and used for a very small run as well as being used for the majority of the 1956Y. mintage. Also, during this time the Melbourne obverse 8 die that was originally used with the 1955Y. was somehow paired with a 1956Y. reverse die for a smallish mintage run.

Still listed but in a sub section to the standard 1925 .Just click on the "+" beside the item number

From time to tome I check the number of coins required to complete a penny set (the subject of this thread). The other day I noticed it had gone from 95 to 94. The 1925 "Broken N" was removed from the list. Too bad if you went out and bought one in the mean time.

In the long run its probably for the best since its basically a damaged die rather than a different die pair.

"basically a damaged die rather than a different die pair"

Yes, very true. I wonder how many they'll end up with all up with all the different years :scratch_one-s_head: and then there's the half penny :swoon:

HOLD ON HERE!!
isn't it about 75 pennies for a full set?

so these attributed errors or various die pairing are going to mean that the collector has to secure more of the same year to complete a set
now that is BS

we accept the standard 3 X 1920's ,2 X 1919,  the H and no H , K.G or not, the dot after Y. as these indicate the mint for the year.
But having jolly, broken N's in the 1925 has an additional coin to collect is bullocks
