<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1769984, member: 12789&quot;]Later on in the 1920s the BRM modified the obverse and reverse dies to eliminate the halo or ghosting that resulted - these are large diametre and rather thinnish coins so they were prone to that ghosting with a higher relief portrait of KGV.&nbsp; They lowered the relief and actually made the King&#039;s portrait very slightly smaller and it largely eliminated the problem.&nbsp; I have literally hundreds of these coins and it is kind of cool to see the progression of the halo on various pennies of the same dates.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have many Heaton or King&#039;s Norton pennies but it would be interesting to see if they have the same problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
