Sorry my bad, it's a Perth 1964 penny.

[trout]

Why are the Perth ones so special ?

[ausjack]

Nice one G :good:
Does the denticle mark come from all the different mints or only perth?

[gnome]

Thanks AJ, not sure about the denticles, first one I've seen in the hand. Most of the classics come out of Perth, trout.

[ausjack]

No wuckers G, maybe RG might know

[robbiegal]

Yeah AJ
I am familiar with them and have a few theories regarding the how 's of them

Perth 1964Y. Introduction to the Obverse Penny Denticles 101
you can find them in 3 variations - I only have ever found 5 of the version with the one denticle and 4 of the version with 3 denticles
the variety has
1. a denticle type mark on the Queens chin
2. bearded Queen usually
3. denticles rear and front of the Queens neck
4. Die cracks Gratia Regina

I collect any denticle pattern coin that I can find so I do have some in the 1954/53 halfpennies and so on , 1960 denticle in AUST and so on

So Gnome - you now have a quest! as I don't sell mine

1 Denticle


2 Denticles


3 Denticles

[gnome]

I really want one of the 3 denticles,
And the single one
When you get a chance, would like to see the other dated ones as well, please.

[robbiegal]

Gnome
if you find the denticles appealing

here is an example of the denticles in AUST in the 1960 Y. Penny
A very rare error as well (IMO)

[ausjack]

Thanks for that RG, much appreciated :good:

1953 Halfpenny
Denticles below the roo's snout

I really want one of the 3 denticles,

And the single one

When you get a chance, would like to see the other dated ones as well, please.

they are the hardest
I only have 4 full sets of them but did sell a single denticle pattern years ago and still regret doing that!!  Mostly have more of the 2 denticles
