aleroit2000 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 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 regardsAlex Quote
custard1966 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I'd say it's short of being Fine, but otherwise problem-freeThese aren't too hard to find in lower grades.How much did you pay for it ? Quote
aleroit2000 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Posted January 10, 2006 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!

planz666 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 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. Quote
