  It is a large coin and I don't believe it is worn, it looks like it was never stamped on the other side. Was just wondering if anyone know anything about it. Thank you all who replied and Hi to all of the CCF Community |

@dotliv13, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that while the reverse side of this coin looks unstruck, it almost certainly left the mint with all the reverse details intact. Most likely, someone has planed or sanded down this other side. Can you please post the weight? I'm thinking that your coin may be significantly underweight. If this is a penny, then the weight was about 9.4 g when it was struck.

 The weight and diameter would solve the question. |

There could be no obverse if there was no reverse. Think of it like clapping your hands with only one hand.It is PSD,IMHO. John1  |

I used to play Shove ha'penny in the pubs in Somerset and everyone had a set of five halfpeenies with the reverse ground off to play the game. Hence they are relatively common over here - and as I know of no collector for them, worth only scrap metal these days. BTW |

...I also have a georgivs v dei gra britt omn rex fid def ind imp one penny from 1944. Thank you for any info anyone can provide George V died in 1936, so any coin dated 1944 should be George VI, not George V. It should be a different portrait, without a beard and moustache. If it is a 1944 penny with George V on the other side, then it's likely to be a " Magician's coin" or trick coin, made from two coins that have been ground down then stuck together. If it's an ordinary 1944 George VI penny in "typical" condition, then it won't be worth too much. They're quite common. NGC world coin database page.
