Third & Fourth Types

Third Type Bronze 1989 penny, obverse

Fourth Type Copper-plated steel 1996 penny, obverse

The above two coins were scanned at the same time, revealing the slight colour difference between the bronze and copper-plated steel versions. The reverse in both cases is as for the Second Type.

Fifth Type

1999 penny, obverse

Sixth Type

2008 new style penny Note the weakness in the obverse inscription, which seems to be because the beading is no longer present.

Production Faults

2006 penny, reverse Fault near edge Faults such as these are of interest but have little extra value.
