Any chance of a pic or two Hello? That always helps with valuations as clarity of the error will be a factor.

A genuine 1954 penny would be worth many thousands of pounds. Only one is known for sure. But you have to ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya? My bet is it's either a counterfeit or a typo.

1854 typo probably...

Does make me wonder if the Royal Mint only made the one that has escaped into commercial channels (1954 that is).

There used to be a crisp (potato chip) add that went : "bet you can't eat just one!"

Have always wondered if there were slop with regards to mintage of such supposedly unique pieces.

My bet is that they had a trial striking & then ordered a meltdown, and one got trousered but what if more than one got trousered??

The 1954? Add four zeroes! But if you mean 1854, it's all dependent on condition as I'm sure you know. Any pictures yet?
