1937 Geo VI Penny GB - Off metal

Recommended Posts

Guest Sabiar49

I found a nice condition 1937 GB Penny that is silver-color rather than bronze. It does not appear dipped or mercury coated. Not shiny but flat like a normal coin. I do not have immediate access to metal testing equipment. Strike, size and weight appear within expected limits. Does not feel like aluminum, heavier. Were any off metal Pennies struck? Cannot find listing in Krause or online.

Hi Sabiar - Welcome to the forums :)

A scan or photo would be helpful.
