Silvernut New Member Australia 48 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 07:22 am Hi all, I recently acquired this 1917I Australian George V penny. Not bad with 6 pearls and some circulation. What does confuse me a little is the fact that all high points are typically copper colour and shiny with no patina. By looking at it, do you think this coin has had some kind of bath at some point? Or is this typical of the coins minted from India during this time? How would you grade it? Report this Post to the Staff
