Old Penny Hunt - George VI

Following on from the old penny hunt for Elizabeth II coins, today we make a quick stop with George VI.
I've built up a stock of Pennies from Victoria through to Elizabeth, many from bulk buys and a fair few from mixed bags. I've not gone through them in a long while, but I've been steadily adding more!
If you good folks in TH-cam-land enjoy this video, please let me know with a thumbs up and I'll start work on the George V pennies... then the Victoria pennies.
Queen Elizabeth II old penny hunt - • Old Penny Hunt #1 - El...
Cheers all.

With regards to your shiny 1940, check to see if there were any Proofs, it has that look about it? I picked up a very nice Almost BU 1947 Penny, mixed in a big tub of Pennies and Halfpennies in 2023 - for 10p! They can still be found. The 1952 Penny is Unique - I saw it being offered for sale in 2018 for around £130,000 - with a very detailed write-up about it. I still have the write-up.

I also bought TWO Almost BU 1937 Pennies in 2024, for £3 each, they were together with the same dealer.

Be very careful keeping coins in Plastic, especially Bronze and Copper coins.

Hi Les, excellent video from 1900 onwards I'm missing 1919 KN, 50, 51,53.. the last 3 are hard to get hold of at a reasonable price 😎👍

Those are the tough ones, and yes, they can be hard on the pocket too. I need a 1926 modified bust, then the next oldest needed is 1894. The 1860s, 70s and 80's are patchy. I ended up buying the 1950 penny for £13 and the 1951 for £22. A touch over the odds 2 years ago, but worth it as I haven't seen many since. When I do the George V video, I'll try to keep an eye out and see if there is a 1919KN amongst them. Cheers.
