Number of pennies made...

Recommended Posts

does anyone know of any books or websites that could tell me how many pennies, silver threepences, florins, farthings and/or halfpennies were minted between 1860 - 1967?

The book I do, Collectors Coins GB 2004, has all that info in it.

Ok, no pressure or anything.

It's well worth it for £5.75 (to you) inc postage. Goes into a lot of detail with varieties, and you get all the other mintage figures too.

Mintage figures are a complicated issue

Is the number the number made in that year or the number issued with that date? (overdates, for example, mean these are not the same thing).

I think the numbers in the various catalogues are the mint production figures.

They also don't tell you anything about the relative numbers of the variants within each date that were made or are still extant.

Yes, all mintage figures should be taken with a pinch of salt, and should be used just as a rough idea.
