They fetched quite a premium a short time after issue along with 1972 and 1973. They are very cheap now near fifty years on ....

poverty porn for the masses to look at and be horified Typical "Daily Mail" readers and sorry yes that includes me a couple of days a week.....

Any chance being remembered in your will?!

It is a unique rarity and so great seeing it on here thanks

I agree could be die wear , collectors will still mark it down prob a grade because of lack of clarity on the reverse , still worth around £1700 though..... If it were a penny of similar rarity it would be £6000

That reverse is not near unc in fact its not EF obverse is much better. Makes me jealous though.....

Maybe the people that pay massive amounts for coins online have been too busy attending parties at number ten this past year or so - just a thought.......

I myself found a A in fair grade (but very clear) it was the more common A to the left . I sold it as I did not consider it collectable in that grade as it had been polished as well and I am a bit old school on polishing (I hate it) Heres hopeing I find another

Die letter C much rarer than the A

I am sure the grammar and spelling nazis on here have not bought the coins or they would be first to complain

And the compare is dominic cummins

My fav for the new title Grand old duke of pork

Coins of this era are seldom found better tha Good fine - its a challenge putting a nice collection together

And the same goes for you and your fifteen potato peelers, bah , luxury

I think you have really dissed the probable best way of saving for old age which is either a personal or works pension , this is really the best way to get a decent return for yourself and help yourself in your old age . Remember the tax relief on contributions which is very generous and also the 25% tax free lump sum bonus at 55 or older. To me the only bad thing about pensions is that you have your best years behind you when you begin to enjoy the defered wages from your youth , which is what a pension is anyway. I am certainly glad I saved for many years mostly in the eighties and nineties . The small amount I saved in the noughties and later have not amounted to much as they have not had time enough to grow. Pension cash beats any saving (Or so called investing) hands down.

I found something similar on anglesey - I imagine it came though via liverpool

NICE FIND!

they might be a potential riser as well......

If you bought a plastic set in 1969 you could probably buy 60 packets of ten cigs Now you are lucky to get 20 cigs for a plastic set - pretty poor investment really .

Those were hard times in the fifties
