damian1986 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Closest I've seen is this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scarce-1945-Britain-One-Penny-1d-Very-Good-Detailed-George-VI-Ref-326-/201051280542?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item2ecf97149e Nice eye-appeal and 'lustre' but two unfortunate digs on the obverse. I think a real nice one would be worth 30 or 40 quid. Who's got a roll of 'em?
Peckris Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I've got two of the damn things! I'm keeping them both though - one is a rich dark purple like that one, while the other is a mid gold-brown, rather lighter than the average mint toned penny (but not lustred).

scott Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) I do like the wear on the first one, adds a bit of colour. Edited December 7, 2014 by scott
damian1986 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Posted December 7, 2014 Oooops. You may or may not have noticed ... that's a 1946 not a 1945!!Ah yes no specific date required for me here. I sold one in the past and that was probably the only one I regret letting go but I think the one I got now is from the same batch. Scott you are well up there on omnicoin just had a gander. This one goes down as one of my bargain buys at £8.50.
Peckris Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Yes - 1946 would be the easiest route into this type. 1944 are the most difficult, and 1945 aren't too easy either. The main problem is that 1946 are either/or, so you have to check carefully to make sure you have a mint darkened example. The one you got is a nice example - good price too.
