British One Penny 1926 -is that modified effigy? do i have rare mistake? [solved]

6 posts • viewed 245 times
Hello Everyone.
I try to identify if this 1926 Penny is the one with modified effigy - link, or normal one - link.
In the comment to the modified effigy, I found the information I should pay attention to the colon after "BRITT", but on the coin I have I see only the top dot from this colon. is that something rare? do I find a mint mistake or does one of the dots wear off with time? How much it can be possibly worth? (Engraver initials B M are not visible)









Thank you for your help :)
I think the second dot is still visible, despite the wear:

Ok, I just needed the second opinion, I watch it closely and it was hard to say if this dot was over there in the first place. So only one more question stay - is that modified effigy version?
Quote: "PiotrekK"​- is that modified effigy version?
​ Yes, it is.

At least four identifiers >


.................. Normal ................../................... Yours ...................../................ Modified ...................

1. GEORGIVS - the I points AT a bead.
2. DEI - the I points BETWEEN beads.
3. GRA : BRITT - the : is equally spaced between.
4. BRITT : OMN - the : is equally spaced between.
5. Engraver's initials to the right of neck truncation without stops such as 'BM'.

The 5th identifier does not apply as yours is too worn.
All those are what is on the normal coin.
On both yours and the modified coin they are all different. :)
