Two varieties of 1934 British Pennies ?

Are there two varieties, one mint darken and one not ? I have a book that says most coins were mint darken, then that would mean others are not. How would you tell the difference ?

    Some farthings were darkened in various years. I seem to recall that some of the 1934 1d coins were darkened. Those darkened will have a richer and deeper color that tends to look somewhat blackish. I do not own a darkened ‘34 1d, but I have some of the farthings. They look attractive in MS.

    The 1934 is deceptively tough to find in a quality MS grade.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
