1918KN penny

[aleroit2000 0]

Hi,

yesterday I found this penny in a coin stand here in Italy, and I bought it.

What do you think about it? What about the conservation?

I bought it becouse here is not very easy to find british coins, and when you find them, there are absurd prices...

Well, I'm awaiting for your comments...

best regards

Alex

I'd say it's short of being Fine, but otherwise problem-free

These aren't too hard to find in lower grades.

How much did you pay for it ?

Well,

I paid it 7 euros, more or less 4,75 pounds.

But consider that normally common pennies of ElizabetII or George V or VI cost not less than 3 - 4 euros (and not in Unc!)...

Some times ago I found a 1919KN penny in a shop, not very better than this, for 25 euros!

Prices of brit. coins in Italy are absourds!

An example in Fine is generally quoted between £3 and £5 depending on your preferred source.So the price you paid is probably on the high side for the example pictured.
