Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 8:02 pm You're showing two coins, the last two are a 1940 British One penny large, the first is Britannia on a 1902 coin, penny. Need other side to tell if any error? Edited by Crazyb0 02/22/2018 8:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 8:06 pm I would look at these two coins. For further investigations, it is sometimes England, sometimes Great Britain and sometimes United Kingdom. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces857.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces669.html P.S. Do yourself a favor and visit the photography section. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 04:26 am Yes - British pennies but fairly ordinary. The 1902 comes in two varieties - high and low tide relating to the sea level to the right of the reverse. Yours is High tide, which is the more common. The 1940 also has two varieties depending on whether the line above the exergue is single or double. Difficult to be sure but I think yours is the double, which is slightly less common but not significantly. Having said all of that, the condition is not great and in the UK they would probably be scrapped. You might get 50c for the 1902 in the US simply because of its age. Report this Post to the Staff
