Hello, these two wider spaced date pennies I have are perplexing me and any help would be much appreciated. thanks
Welcome to numista, did you find the corresponding coin pages in the numista data base?
In my opinion those coins are not real variants, but probably made from dies where the 186 is on the mother die and then when the first die “die”, the next die gets the units in the year hand punched, which is normally not correspond to the first dies unit position.
