Hi... Was just wondering if anyone could help me out on pricings for these pennies...
Sorry no pics available will try to do a grading...
UK - 1906 G
1920 G
1928 G
1936 XF

1967 XF
Also are New Pence British? If so I have one from the year 1971.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanx!

Hi. The pennies are of only personal value to yourself.They are Quite modern and hold no premium value..the best of them the 1936 in EF would book value at £2-£3.The rest I would give to charity.
sorry no great prices.hope it helps

If there's no other place mentioned on the coin (like "Guernsey"), then coins denominated in "new pence" are British.
As Arfa said, no great rarities there - dealers buy and sell coins like this by the kilo. 1936 and 1967 are both 'last-year-types', and therefore are commonly encountered in top condition.

I really like large British pennies. My collection dates from 1888 until they stopped producing them. However, I would like to start my children and grandkids on them.
My question is, where could I obtain a sizable quantity of them at a reasonable price. The idea would be for the kids and grandkids to sort through them and fill coin folders.
Any suggestion as to a good coin dealer for the purchase of large pennies?
Thanks.

As Britain has a much larger population than Australia, many more British pennies were made than Australian ones. As such, there are no really scarce dates - no equivalent of "the 1930 penny". There are a couple of rarer varieties, though they generally don't command too much of a premium. In the 20th century, I can only see two that stand out: the 1902 "low tide" variety and the 1926 "modified portrait" variety - both of which would be hard to pick without comparing a whole bunch of coins of that date. The mintmark pennies (H or KN) of 1912, 1918 and 1919 also command a slight premium over unmintmarked coins of that year; the mintmarks are just to the left of the date, in the exergue.

Excellent thanyou for that... really helpfull...
Added a couple more to my collection today... a 1860 and a 1882...
Although I have seen what you been by being common, the idea of coins being either 146 years old, or 100 years old... the history behind it fascinates me.

Although 1860 copper pennies, 1882 (no H), 1933 (of course) and 1954 spring to mind immediately. |

Silver pennies that it. Not much copper penny wise before 1800. Just 1797? (maybe 1799?), dunno I steer well clear of copper, have done for many, many years. My house doesn't agree with them.

I have a few pennys I think they are pennys, I will have to get some photos but the ones I have are in the 1700s but u cant really see them properly .. I have one readable one and its dated 1752 it says britan-nia around the edge but the word has been split up to go around the woman in the middle, the woman is facing to the left and is sitting down on something, in one of her hands is a flag (i think) and in the other one shes holding out a flower that looks like a piece of heather, on the reverse side its a mans head and it says GEORGIVS.11.REX.

The only pre-1800 British pennies are:
- "Cartwheel" pennies - 1 oz of pure copper. Only issued in 1797.
- tiny silver "Maundy pennies" issued most years since the reign of Charles II (earliest dated is 1670, I believe; they still issue them today). These are coins specially made for use in the royal almsgiving ceremony on Maundy Thursday. The "full Maundy set" includes 4d, 3d, 2d and 1d coins.
- circulation silver pennies. These were first issued in mediaeval times, even before the Norman conquest of 1066. They finally disappeared in the 1660's, during the English Civil War period. AEtheling and KLD are discussing some examples in a couple of threads elsewhere.
Between about 1660 and 1797, no pennies were struck for circulation in any metal - the penny became a "money of account", written in ledgers but never actually struck. Copper coins which appear to be the size of "modern" (1960's) pennies are actually halfpennies.
