Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 03/20/2011 2:18 pm I have been searching all over the web for some kind of information regarding the Great Britain large cents. I live in the US but at coin shows people always have foreign coin buckets where coins are like 4 for a dollar or something. They have a lot of large cents but was wondering some information on them. I like trying to complete sets even though for the most part I probably wont complete them, it gives me a goal. I'm wondering the years that the coins were made. They are coins that have like the king on the front and what looks like king triton from the little mermaid on the back. I cant find any information on the web so maybe I am calling them the wrong name or something. Even if trying to get a big group of these coins together is very hard I might buy them because large cents are really cool to me. Any info on them is greatly appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2890 Posts	Posted 03/20/2011 2:50 pm British copper coins of this type are called pennys, not cents. The word "Penny" on the back is a bit of a giveaway. Cent's would be very innappropriate as there was 240 of these to the pound - not 100. Try your searches with "penny" and see what turns up.

Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 8:37 pm hmm thanks does anyone have any sites or maybe their own pictures of these different coins also how would I store them, I seem to be having a tough time finding an album for them I found some old whitman type of folders but none for sale new anywhere Report this Post to the Staff
Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 9:15 pm one more thing as well would 3 or 4 for a United states dollar be a good deal? I am interested in the coin not really the value of the collection afterward but I don't want to buy common coins at high prices like I said earlier I love the way the coins look and they are a lot cheaper then US Large Cents Report this Post to the Staff
Meldude Valued Member Canada 162 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 10:02 pm Yeah, 4 for a dollar is good. You can get all the way back to 189X for this price. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 12:09 am There's an l missing off the end of the link above. Try this one:http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/coins.html It's an excellent site for info on nearly all coins of Great Britain. These are just for pennies: http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/penny.html http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/penny.html http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/pics/pen1.html I use this site every day to look up values, varieties plus a heap of other info. About the only info I can't find on it is mintage stats. The reverse is Britannia with a shield and trident. Have fun! 4 for $1 is very good value. Do an ebay search for 'penny folder' and see what you come up with. There will be some US ones in amongst it, but there will also be some Great Britain ones. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Edited by Nevol 03/22/2011 12:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 7:45 pm 4 for $1 is also a good price for Aussie Ha'pennies and Pennies. Good hunting! life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
