What is the value of a 1942 British Penny?

Answer 1

A British 1952 bronze Penny (George VI)(proof only), is unique because only one was minted and a value cannot be given.

A reputable coin dealer will probably fall over if he sees one.

It is quite possible that you have a legitimate copy, facsimile or fantasy coin.

Answer 2

A British 1942 50% silver Sixpence (George VI), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £8 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £1 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.

Answer 3

There were no British Pennies minted from 1941 to 1943 inclusive.

Answer 4

No 1941 British Pennies were minted. Pennies were only minted for the colonies using the 1940 dies.
