I don't know much about Australian coins but from what I looked up if it's a 1952 penny it's worth anywhere from $0.50 - $42 AUD.

If it's a proof then it could potentially be worth Tens of thousands. How did you find it? Post a few pics....

Thanks bluntedbobylon
hmmmm well not sure exactly how to tell if it's a proof without a good pro clean.
I found this coin and seven other pennis and florins under the verandah of an old farm house in Western Australia. All of the coins were close together so this could have been the old poker spot on the porch or sumthing haha...

I have to say Ricky that it's highly unlikely that it's a proof coin if that's how it was found. Australian pre-decimal proofs were predominanly produced for collectors and almost never turn up in circulation. This article at Cruzis-Coins should help in understanding what determines a Proof.
