How can you tell if a 1943 silver wheat penny is valuable?
All Australian Pennies minted from 1911 to 1964 inclusive are made from an alloy of 97% copper, 2.5% zinc and 0.5% tin (bronze). They weigh 9.45 grams and are 30.8 mm in diameter, have a smooth edge and have no magnetic properties. The 1943 Penny has a left facing image of George VI on the obverse and the words GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX:F:D:IND:IMP. The initials HP (designer Thomas Humphrey Paget) are below the rear of the bust of King George VI. The reverse has a left facing hopping kangaroo with the words AUSTRALIA around the circumference at the top and PENNY around the circumference at the bottom. The year is below the kangaroos tail and the seven pointed Commonwealth Star is below the kangaroos head. The initials KG (designer George Kruger Gray) are above the tip of the kangaroos tail. Coins minted at the Melbourne Mint have no mintmark. Coins minted at the Perth Mint have a dot after the Y of PENNY (PENNY.). Coins minted at the Bombay Mint have an "I" below the bust of King George VI. The coin should look like the 1943 Penny shown in the link below.
