dgspencer New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 10:35 pm Good evening. My name is Daryl. I am not a coin collector. However my deceased mother had a slight interest in it. Looking at one of her coins this evening, I came across a 1929 Canadian coin. At least I BELIEVE it is Canadian b/c no country is specified on the coin. But there is a (left-facing) likeness of George V wearing no crown on the front with the stamp "GEORGIVS : BRITT : OMN : REX FID : IND: IMP" On the reverse it simply says "ONE" on the left side and "PENNY" on the right. In the middle is a stamp of a right-facing, sitting woman wearing a helmet and holding a shield in her near hand and a raised trident in her far hand. The year "1929" is stamped underneath her. I can seem to find no reference to this coin on the Internet and again I'm guessing it is Canadian. The only 1929 coins similar to this that I could find had the same likeness of George V, but they all had a crown. It isn't that a crown was there and worn away b/c this coin is in exceptional condition with excellent detail in the engraving. Any info regarding this coin would be appreciated, especially if it is NOT Canadian. Report this Post to the Staff

Islander2010 Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 10:51 pm Sounds like you have a British 1 penny. They're not really scarce, although they sell for a few dollars if they are in exceptionally good condition. The only way to accurately judge condition would be with clear photos. Hope this helps! :-) Report this Post to the Staff

TheCoinGeezer Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 06/12/2012 4:27 pm Sound to me like a British penny too. Heavily circulated ones usually can be found in a dealer's "junk box" for a nominal amount. Last winter I attended a coin show on a miserable, cold and raw day and whiled away the better part of two hours scrounging through a junk box and put together quite a collection of British cents for 20¢ each!
