I know it's common to find canadian currency in rolls of dimes, but how often should I expect to find these in rolls of half dollars?   |

Hmmmm.... My son just showed me the same exact coin as in the OP that he got in a batch of foreign coins at a flea market. What is it, and is it worth anything?

I don't think Great Britain was using pennies back then. New Zealand? Australia? Canada?

Eh, never mind. I just did a Google search and it apparently is a British penny after all...

Yeah, Britannia large format penny. Thats the size of all pennies predecimalisation in 1972.
Those things are great, hefty and often have a lovely texture. They sell at a minimum of £1, but when traded in person people love the things and you can get more for each one.

Thats a strange find in a dollar roll... I did find a Panamanian Penny in my penny box yesterday though... thought it might have been worth something until I looked it up... Its not even worth a penny in Panama!!

I pulled a couple Victorian era ones (1861 and 1900) out of my coin shop's bargain bin for 20 cents each. I should keep my eye out, I guess. |
