Hi Stackers I have recently come across a few references to a "Q" variety 1925 penny, tail on second O in COMMOMWEALTH. Noble auction, 102 I think, and a sale on ebay ($195); But I am unable to find any detailed description elsewhere. I am trying to identify if one of mine is a "Q" variety or not, and was hoping that some of you may have a better idea. Pics follow - original looking coin with no major detractions gF. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Regards Edmond
Hello Edmond, Yes that definitely is a Q variety.. Just for reference if you didn't know, alll Q varieties have a blob to the left of ONE and a dot to the right, also a small blob or stroke above the W in Commonwealth as pictured below.. Hope that helps..
Thanks ecc For both the confirmation and further detail. This variety has passed me by, and is the first I have heard of it. Thanks again.
Yes, I agree it's the Q variety. Ian McConnelly's "Australian Pre-Decimal Varities" lists this as: COMMQN - STROKE AT W - DOT AFTER E Yours seems to have all those tell-tales.
