GB Pence 1902

CODE	DATE	Ref	[BP] BRONZE PENCE 1902 - 1936	GRADE	Price (£)

	Some collectors have started collecting or recording variations in date widths. I do not consider the great majority of these variations as being of significant importance or rarity above the norm. Some, like the 1889 narrow date, do eventually achieve a rarity status and command a premium over the norm. Only time will tell which of the others do ! I shall list and scan some of the variations that pass through my hands.
