I reckon the 1927 is the one RG. Orange peel surfaces, and ghosting of " LTH OF AUSTR ", as well as ghosting at the outer edge of the inner circle on the right side. But no raised edges of the lettering though.

Darn it meant to post the 22. Will pop up a pic tonight but I have them together A they look similar

the letters penny & the bottom scroll are índented' (as if pushed into the planchet) but the overall surface is Ok

I'm thinking what causes that moat effect around the edges of the lettering?
:idea: Jap POW's with little chisels at the Cowra camp during WW2? :blush: Sorry, couldn't help it :angel:

my dealers says that it is reduced strike pressure
either set up or to preserve the life of the die

Nice orange peel and moting effect

So it is steve. I remember you posting that coin a while back, think you were intending to buy and send it off for grading. Did you get a grade from the TPG's?

I'm surprised it did so well with everything going on with the coin.It also has a
small section shaved off from the obverse rim at about 11 o'clock

It gives the impression that the coin is smaller on one side
