Recommended Posts

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone can give me any information on a one sided King George V penny. The back of the penny is completely blank so the date is unknown. any information would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

How can we if we don't see a picture? :huh:

You need to check the thickness against a normal penney, also the weight as someone may have just erased the reverse.

Almost certainly been erased, possibly by putting on a lathe (in which case the reverse will have marks remeniscent of a record). Very, very unlikely to have been issued in that condition from the mint.

Value? Probably nothing at all.

Incidentally, a wee bit intemperate, Mr. H.

Yes, please have mercy on us "newbies"!

A weight at least would be crucial if the picture is not possible. I have seen quite a few QE II uniface coins that were correct weight and not struck with obverse or reverse. Not seen a George yet (excluding the prohibitively rare MODEL pieces, and these are generally reverse only).
