Did  you know it's a COMMQ variety ?

I dont even know what a COMMQ verity is.
Is is special?

[Fordprefect]

Tougher type than the Broken N type.
The 2nd "O" in Commonwealth has a small tale pointing to the inner ring.
Small Dot present before and after ONE on reverse.

Looks a little better than F but not quite VF
Depends also what that graffiti is on the obverse.

That's a stray bit of cotton on the obverse
Thanks for the heads up Mate :good:
Do PCGS attribute this error?

I will do a Fordie and have put some labels on for you Trout
re: grade I'd agree - it may have some semblance of the centre diamond so it is definitely a good fine (6 pearls) - if it has a partial diamond then it is AVF
the overall surfaces look to be in very nice condition for a 1925
And yes it is a Q variety - years ago they were highly sought after but not so much these days
nice coin

correction!!

[trout]

Perfect, Thank you RG :good:
I am pretty ignorant when it comes to the penny's and half penny's :angel:
I'm going through an album I bought that showed up at the post office today and it seems to be quite a nice collection
This was in the "Obverse" slot in the album, they are buggers to get out of a dansco with only one hand :dash1:

nice
good/very fine or about/EF
take your pic

the 7th and 8th pearls are blunted and joined (a/EF)
for myself  EF is clear & separated 7th and 8th pearls

but the band is high and the centre diamond is formed nicely with all 4 sides clearly visible , surfaces are nice

no interesting errors though

the 1936 penny often shows up in nice nic

I think they do, it's a recognised and catalgued one.
The Fee for certification dosn't make it a submission prospect.

There is also a "Type 2" version also.
This one has an extra dot after the last A of Australia.

Great sharing of info, how long is that piece of string.? :dodgy:

[trout]

Just bought another 2 of these
I will post piccies  when they get here

[trout]

Here is another 1925 penny
Broken "N"




Then there is this.
gouge or lamination peel?

[Fulvio]

gouge or lamination peel?

Possibly both. The cold shut/lamination flaw looks to run diagonally along his collar, but the smooth patches in the hole shouldn't be smooth. Maybe it took a hit right there that caused the piece to fall out?
