Context
Non-magnetic (bronze) set issues (see link below): In 1999, the Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof Annual sets featured pennies struck using bronze planchets, due to a world shortage of steel. Reports have been received regarding differing number of beads to both sides: 1998-1999 115 beads on obverse and 113 beads on reverse; 2000-2008 110 beads on obverse and 109 beads on reverse; © Heligal Reports have also been received regarding reverse varieties for the 2000 & 2004 issues: 2000 1 points to left of dot; 2004 1 points to right of dot; (former Spink ref. 4710)
