1970 penny

[Jordan0693 3]

Can you buy a 1970's penny or '69 and '68?

[Peter 615]

The 1970 is available in proof sets.

There are no 68 or 69's

The 1967 dies were used until the end of predecimal !d's

You will also find people selling them individually on eBay (broken out form the proof sets) - you should be able to get one for £1-£2

for example

I've got several sets of proof coins(1970) and more recent.

On Ebay sellers make quite a bit selling coins after breaking the sets up.

Pick up a 1970 set.Keep the 1d and sell the rest and you will probably make a few £.

Yes, especially on the 6d, for some reason!

You can easily pick up a full set for a tenner

Yep

The one of many advantages of sometimes working from home.

Lucky sixpences in immaculate condition?

Would you give anything less as a wedding gift or for a Christmas pud treat?

It's just that, as Peter suggests, you're much better off buying the full set than the 1d or 6d individually! Clearly, lots of eBay buyers don't realise this!

Not everyone wants the hassle of selling on the unwanteds. I had a customer today at the Midland who wanted a 1976 5p, but didn't want a set to break up and sell on the rest. Each to their own. So I'll break it up and next month he will get his 5p. For most people it isn't a question of ensuring you build the collection at the cheapest price possible, nor does everyone want the hassle of listing on eBay. Not everyone wants to trawl through ebay on a daily basis placing 99p bids on everything in the hope that you win something you can sell on for £1.50. I guess that unlike the nerds on forums such as this, many people have a life.

It's likely why the 6d does well? We don't all chuck EII farthings in our Christmas puds and keep the best ones for ourselves, you know!

Edit: it's worth looking at 'lucky sixpence' on completed items...hilarious! A little silk bag at 0.00002p from China, a polished 6d, and bob's your uncle...give me a fiver please!

Personally, I have so many Edward II farthings that I simply don't know what to do with them!

Okay, I'll make sure I only use my Berwick Mint ones!

[Rob 3,152]

I need a nice Berwick farthing. Either Ed2 or 3 will do, though would probably prefer an Ed. 3 for the reverse design.

You can certainly buy a 1968 penny

As long as you don't mind that it's dated 1971 and comes in a rather cheap blue plastic wallet with 4 other decimal coins...
