VERY RARE VARIETY PENNY 1922 OVERDATE STUB ON TIP OF 9

YOU ARE LOOKING AT A VERY NICE 1922 VARIETY PENNY.

ON THIS COIN THE FIGURE 9 IN THE DATE HAS A SMALL STUB PROTRUDING FROM THE TIP, MAKING THIS AN OVERDATE.

THIS OVERDATE IS NOT WIDELY KNOWN BUT AN ARTICLE BY SURJIT WADHWA WAS PUBLISHED IN THE AUSTRALASIAN COIN AND BANKNOTE MAGAZINE VOLUME 8, NUMBER 11 PAGE 39. HERE IS AN EXCERPT:

.....THE OVERDATE CAN BE FOUND WITH BOTH THE WIDE AND EXTRA WIDE DATES. ALTHOUGH CAREFUL EXAMINATION WILL SHOW SIGNS OF AN OVERDATE ON ALL DIGITS OF THE DATE IT IS BEST SEEN AT THE POINT OF THE 9 WHERE THE THINNER MORE CURVED TIP OF THE NORMAL 9 IS CLEARLY SEPARATE FROM THE SLIGHTLY THICKER 9  OF THE WIDE DATE TYPES....

THIS PENNY IS NOT LISTED IN RENNICK'S AUSTRALIAN PRE-DECIMAL COIN VARIETIES.  

THIS PENNY HAS A BUST OF KING GEORGE V ON THE OBVERSE.

THIS IS A VERY RARE, VERY COLLECTABLE, HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER VARIETY PENNY THAT IS VERY HARD TO FIND.

I GRADE THIS COIN AS FINE.
