1961 variety?
1961 variety?
has anyone observed this peculiarity where there is a line between the 2 and the top of the 6 and a line from the 6 to the maple leaf? very hard to photograph as it's not that pronounced but easy to see in the right light. quite a few examples on the 1961 pennies that I have.
Re: 1961 variety?
Looks like a die clash with a rotation. You can see a hanging 1 here.
Re: 1961 variety?
I have hanging 1's and I have these and they don't occur together, it doesn't look like a die clash, more of a raised line with sloping sides and the same on all coins. there is the word "arrowhead" written on the outside of the coin rolls but the references I come across don't have anything to do with these. could it be an obscure Zoell example?
Re: 1961 variety?
It could be the 1 cent 1961 - Arrow 6 variety. I'm not sure if Zoell find this one. I saw some being sold on eBay for around 2.50$ to 5.00$ on eBay in late 2008.
There's also the 1 cent 1961 - Open book 9 and the 1 cent 1961 - Cyclop that can be found near this date.
It's hard to judge with these pictures.

Re: 1961 variety?
that's it exactly, thank you. can you tell me where you would find any references for this "arrow 6" variety? I don't have any Zoell books, just charletons.
