Re: Bronze Coins' I have one of these from 1967, the last year they were minted, probably about MS63-65. Nice looking coin! I like the Brit coins with "Britannia" on them.

Re: Bronze Coins' As a "type", very common. If the one in the photo is indeed a proof example, it could have much greater collector value as stated in the article. But British "big pennys" in general are commonly found in the junk foreign boxes at coin shows grading from good to XF, sometimes even unc.

Well I got out my cammy and started to tack pic's of the bronze coins, look at them, and if you can give your side on them as an expert that would be good.
