 [OP] - DECIMAL 1p  1971 - 2003

GRADE

Price (£)

Many of the decimal 1 pence coins

from 1971 to 1982 are becoming

more difficult to find with

FULL original Mint lustre !

The early proof set copper coins 

are more prone to loss of lustre

possibly be due to the slightly

toxic glue* used to seal up these

plastic holders for the coins !

*(glue - ONLY toxic to the lustre !!)

I try and show the amount of lustre still

remaining on the coin so one can get an 

idea of how much lustre is on the coin.

For 1971 to 1982 coins I use

AU (Almost Unused) & the %

of lustre I consider remains.

AU95 is virtually FULL lustre.

(As good as you can get !)

~~~~~~~~

Sometimes the obverse & reverse

of the coin can have different amounts

of lustre I show this with the lustre

on the obverse 1st & the reverse 2nd.

i.e. AU90/80

Obverse = 90% /  Reverse = 80%

~~~~~~~~

Where I show i.e. AU75+

This shows that probably I have

more than one coin in stock

and the coin(s) have a

minimum of 75% lustre -

or possibly more |!

~~~~~~~~~~

For some post 1982 coins I use 

AS (As Struck) i.e. FULL lustre.

As well as AU + for % of lustre.

An unusual coin !

An excellent new booklet on Decimal Pennies

with the different obverses, reverses & varieties

has been published by Frank Hulett (July 2020).

Frank has printed a small limited edition and

he is very generously offering this booklet to 

serious Decimal Penny collectors at "NO charge".

He would, however, appreciate "Postage" costs.

This booklet lists 14 different Obverses &

11 different Reverses and the different

die combinations per date (1971 - 2020).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Currency 1ps, R.M. BU 1ps, BU silver 1ps,

Proof 1ps, Silver Proof 1ps, Gold proof 1ps,

& Platinum Proof 1ps are all listed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The book has been very carefully researched

and I recommend it to anyone who has a serious

interest in collecting decimal one penny coins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frank Hulett can be contacted by email at

frankhulett@hotmail.com

 Make your point as to why you would like a copy.

As there are only a limited amount available.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of these days if and when I get a chance I will

try and update my decimal pennies with

Frank's references.
