1930s penny?

[Coin Ranger]

OK, I know the 1930s penny has doesn't have a kangaroo on the front but whats the go with this penny. Which ever way I look at it, it reads 1930   ... what gives ...

Weird.... the '3' is slanting left and the '0' is slanting right. Maybe someone played with it once upon a time?

I would say 1938.

CR,

I reckon its a 1939 Penny. The nine and zero would look similar under that amount of corrosion.

If it had the commonwealth ring and those numbers were down the bottom I would definitely place it in my collection under 1930 though.

Now that GemQ wrote it, I agree - i reckon it's a 1939 penny...

I think this might be a 1950 or 1960 depending who is on the obverse. Under magnification it appears to be a 0 at the end but really its anyones guess as to what that other number might be. I too  have dreamed of that 1930 elusive target.

It would be nice if it is a 1930 but will tell you for sure this weekend when I find my one

Hoping to find one on my penny Patch (yes I know Dreaming again)

Sure has been laying in the sand for a long time.

The 38 penny had the kangaroo while the 38 half penny still had the commonwealth ring around it .As mentioned you need to know who's head is on the back. My guess was 38.  Rwork
