What is the value of a 1745 British Penny?

Answer 1

During the 1970's I sold a 1745 British penny in good condition for $20.

Dumb, I know. I found it in a lakebed (Youghiogheny Lake in Pa. before the dam was emptied). I was broke and trying to finish college.

What might it be worth these days?

We also found near perfect flint Indian arrow heads about a dozen or so.

Answer 2

There was no British Pennies minted from 1764 to 1765 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 counterfeit coins produced. The counterfeit coins are collectible in their own right.

Answer 3

There were no British Pennies minted from 1744 to 1745 inclusive.
