The bright appearance of a bronze British Penny is frequently mistaken for gold by some.
If indeed it is gold plated, the thin layer of gold would not add much to the coin which normally weigh 9.45 grams.
Neither U.S. nor British pennies were made of silver. Your coin is almost certainly plated, which would mean it's only worth face value.
All 1967 general circulation British Pennies were made from bronze. If you have a silver Penny, it will be because somebody has plated it. Alternatively, the British Maundy Penny is a very much smaller coin than the traditional Penny and is made from sterling silver.
There are no British general circulation Pennies made from cupro nickel, from 1860 to 1967 they were all made from bronze. If you have a cupro nickel penny, it has been plated and is worthless as a collectible.
No. All British Pennies from 1860 to 1967 were made from bronze. If you have a gold One Penny coin, it would be because somebody has gold plated it.
From 1860 to 1967, the British bronze Penny was 30.81 mm in diameter.
A particularly nice one might sell for a dollar.
If by a "silver penny" you mean one of the 1943 steel cents, then in mint condition it's worth a dollar or two. If you mean some other date, then it's silver plated and has no collector value. And your 1967 penny has been altered -- no added value.
1 cent. It's plated. If you think about it for, oh, a second or two, would it make sense for the Mint to make pennies out of gold that would be worth $50 or $60, then put them out in change for a penny?
All British bronze Pennies from 1860 to 1967 have the words "ONE PENNY" on the reverse.
The last Australian Penny was minted in 1964.
During the 1960's, the old British Penny was minted from 1961 to 1967, the last ever in 1967. Uncirculated and in absolute mint condition, they could fetch anything from £0.25 to £2 GBP depending on the year. If it has been circulated, not much.
For many years up to and including 1792, the British Penny was silver. From 1797 to 1860 inclusive, the Penny was copper. From 1860 until its last minting in 1967, the Penny was bronze. From 1971 to 1992 inclusive, the decimal (New) Penny was bronze. From 1992 to present, the decimal Penny has been made from copper plated steel. The only British decimal coins with any brass in the alloy are the One and Two Pound coins.
