All good now so must have been!

It's a bit of a long shot but you could search the Fitzwilliam Corpus for a die match. There was quite a few Rodberts at a number of mints. You could just look through all the Rodberts for that coin type that struck at all the mints or concentrate on certain mints. London likely being the most common. I've had matches of half and quarter pennies so it's possible. https://emc.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/advanced-search

This is the best one I could find, again from the USA. If you look at EBay ‘sold’ 1940 pennies, there’s definitely been a flurry of ‘narrow date’ sales! I found one well circulated example on EBay UK, and four or five from the USA. At a very rough estimate, 1 to 2% of pennies of the date available when Terry made his post. Thanks Terry for making us aware of the type, I suspect rare rather than extremely rare in high grade but always nice to have something new to look for. Jerry

Just to tease you:

Not EBay, but surely this auction is a load of total bollox…..😁 https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=7558&lot=499 Jerry
