A British 1933 bronze Penny (George V), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £55,000 GBP. They are extremely rare and were never intended for circulation.
There was an unknown number minted. Seven are known to exist. Two are in museums, three in private collections, one under a foundation stone at the University of London building, one under a church in Yorkshire and one stolen from the foundation stone of the Church of St. Cross, current whereabouts not known.
CAUTION - There have been several attempts at forgery of this coin by skilled craftsmen. Authentication and verification of such coins is vital to avoid expensive and embarassing mistakes.
NOTE - There have been reproduction 1933 Pennies minted in recent years, and they should be marked accordingly.
There are many urban myths surrounding the British 1933 Penny, which can all be taken with a grain of salt.
You are never likely to see a genuine 1933 Penny outside of the museum and the possiblity of one being available for sale is remote.
The person(s) who stole the coin from the Church of St. Cross would not be dull-witted enough to attempt to sell it on the open market.
A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation in the event that you have the stolen coin.
Update
In 2009, a 'currency' 1933 penny sold privately for £80,000. It must be assumed that such a specimen now has this new revised value. No mention has been made of the Andre Lavillier pattern 1933 pennies of which at least 5 exist - they would sell for £18,000 - £22,000 in today's market.
A British 1930 bronze Penny (George V), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £60 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £5 to £20 GBP.
The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
This is wildly optimistic. In fact, quoting values from Spink fails to take into consideration market conditions which are flat and are unlikely to change.
This is a very common date that would be unlikely to sell in the lower grades but even an uncirculated example would fetch no more than £15.
A British 1939 bronze Penny (George VI), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £15 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £4 GBP.
The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
It would appear that the above is quoting from Spink. The fact is that one of these in merely good condition is unlikely to sell - just take a look at completed listings on eBay. This is because this is not a particularly scarce date and few collectors are seeking examples. An absolute mint coin may make £15 but even that is very uncertain.
A British 1932 bronze Penny (George V), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £110 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £5 to £25 GBP.
The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
A British 1931 bronze Penny (George V), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £45 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £3 to £15 GBP.
The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
A British 1930 bronze Halfpenny (George V), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £35 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £4 to £10 GBP.
