What is the value of an 1820 British Penny?

Answer 1

The Royal Mint produced no Penny or Halfpenny coins from 1808 to 1824 inclusive.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.

To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.

Answer 2

There were no British general circulation copper Pennies minted from 1809 to 1824 inclusive.

You may have a silver Maundy Penny.

A British 1822 sterling silver Maundy Penny (KG IV)(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £22 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything up to £10 GBP.

NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

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.
