Overview

Historical significance

This coin was issued during the reign of King George V. The year 1912 is notable for the 'Heaton Mint' (H mint mark) variations which were the first British pennies struck outside of the Royal Mint since the 18th century to meet high demand. It represents the height of the British Empire's currency use.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $10.00 USD (Circulated condition). Value increases if it contains the 'H' mint mark next to the date.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place in an acid-free holder. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can strip the natural patina and significantly reduce its numismatic value. Handle by the edges only.
