1912 penny

[Peder 0]

I was gardening yesterday & found a 1912 penny.

Judging by the patination and corrosion I guess that it may have been dropped when the house was built in the 1930s. It is of no value but it is nice as a link with the past.

I remember finding a half crown in the garden of my parent's house twenty years ago.

I wonder what other forum users have found?

I found a 1934 penny in the garden of a 1930's house I lived in as a boy. I even knew then that it was worthless. But it didn't stop me trying to find the 1933 penny that could have been in the same hole!

I found  a 1912 penny while doing a garden that must be a misprinted coin as it only has penny on it, not one penny like all then other ones I've seen online. Will get it checked one day

Found some 25p (crowns) and masonic tokens in a house I was clearing nearly 15 years ago  , have  been an addict since then.the hours I have spent trawling car boots, collectors fairs and the internet in that time isn't worth thinking about.

 During springtime gardening my wife found 7 bronze pennies with George V (1936)

What's the betting it turns out to be just wear and/or corrosion?
