Single Sided Penny

[Guest ArchieG]

I have a single-sided modern 1p piece. One side is printed "tails", the other is totally blank. The coin is not dated as the date would appear on the blank side.

It looks/feels like a perfectly normal 1p coin until you turn it over. I can't think that it would be worth faking a 1p piece, so could it be a flawed coin from the Mint?

Flaws in stamps can make them collectable/valuable. Is the same true for coins?

Priceless or worthless? Any ideas?

If the weight is 3.6 grammes it is an error coin.

Any less it's been machined down.

There is no set value for errors...on Ebay you just chance it and hope for more than one bidder.

Thanks Peter

It weighs 3.6g, so looks like it's an error coin.
