Polly Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hi,I have a George VI Three penny bit,which has a German pfennig inserted into the opposite side.The pfennig is dated 1949 and depicts a young lady planting an oak tree.Can anyone tell me if this is rare?Thank you,Polly Quote
Rob Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Probably unique unless the person who made it has OCD. It's value will not be great however as these are of little/no interest to coin collectors. Quote
TomGoodheart Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Rare? I suspect it's unique Polly. Unfortunately unique doesn't necessarily mean worth a fortune!It's interesting (and there are some people who collect such things) but falls a little outside mainstream coin collecting. Making it very difficult to suggest a value I'm afraid.If it has any family history I'd personally keep it as a memento.I hope that helps a bit? Oh, and welcome to the forum!Edit: Must learn to type faster or keep my answers shorter! . Edited February 11, 2015 by TomGoodheart Quote
Garrett Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Yes thanks Polly and welcome to the forum.Looks like England and Germany were getting very close in 1949.cheers Garrett. Quote
