Due to Britain's commitment to various wars, there were very few silver and copper coins minted in the late 18th century.

There were no Maundy sets minted in 1776.

The only Maundy sets minted from 1761 to 1816 inclusive were in 1763, 1766, 1772, 1780, 1784, 1786, 1792, 1795 and 1800.

Due to the lack of small denomination coins during this period, counterfeiting was rife and there may be counterfeit individual coins or sets. Counterfeit coins from the period are also collectible and have some value.

What is the value of a 1772 British Maundy Penny?

There were no dedicated Maundy coins minted prior to about 1817. All Maundy sets until that time, consisted of general circulation coins, not necessarily with the year of presentation on them. A British 1772 silver Penny (KG III), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £6 to £45 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation. NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

Do you know of any silver penny?

The US never made silver cents. In Britain, special silver pennies are minted for "Maundy money" sets but these aren't intended to be spent. All British Pennies minted prior to 1796 were made from silver. If you're referring to US cents, there's more information at the Related Question. Op may be referring to silver colored steel cent minted during WWII.


Was there ever a 1919 silver UK penny minted?

Circulating pennies were struck in silver until 1781, when silver increased in price and had to be replaced with copper. Silver pennies continue to be struck as part of special sets called "Maundy Money" (Google it for more info) but they do not circulate. I checked a guide for Maundy sets and a 1919 silver 1d coin would retail at about $40.

How many British 1983 2 Pence coins with New Pence were minted?

The only British 2 Pence coins minted in 1983 were minted for either Mint Uncirculated or Proof coin sets. A total of 631,000 British 2 Pence coins were minted for the Mint Uncirculated coin sets. The "Mule" (2 New Pence instead of Two Pence) coins were included in sets packed by the Royal Mint for the "Martini and Heinz presentation sets", and not all sets included the "Mule" 2 Pence coin. No "Mule" coins were included in any of the Royal Mint sets. Nobody has ventured a specific quantity of coins that were minted, but rather the vague "some" or "a quantity". For want of a better answer, a number very significantly less than 631,000 of the 1983 "mule" 2 New Pence coins were minted.

What was the silver content of an old British Penny?

Normally, zero. A basic unit of currency like the Penny, is made from a relatively cheap alloy like bronze or steel. The metal a coin is made from cannot be worth more than the value of the coin. A Penny made from silver would not last five minutes as everybody would be melting them down to recover the silver. The only British low denomination coins minted in silver are those belonging to the Maundy Sets or, the occasional Proof FDC coins which, when they are minted, are usually at 92.5% silver. Prior to 1795, the British Penny was a small silver coin of about 92.5% silver, but the silver content varied depending on the economic conditions of the time.
