This set was given to me as part of a big tree with an Aussieso I'm still figuring this out myself, Paul. Near as I can tell, those are mint marks. Here's one web reference I've found.

Here's a really nice grading guide that combines photos with descriptions of the important points for each grade (*ELBOWS Daniel in ribs*).

ty,
i can imagine a few of those, like the '1930', must be very difficult to find..... :mad: ?
i would also think, an EF or better 'complete set', would get a "nice premium"?

A 1930 Aussie penny will run you $15-20,000 US or more! I don't expect to "complete" this set any time soon, although the other 4 I need are very accessible and two are already located and awaiting my next trade. It will be a fun project to work on.

Yes, that's a nice website for grading. I haven't updated mine for a long time, I wish I had more time.
