I have a Question about this Bronz coin ? Something is not right. Why is this coin selling for $1,600 USD at an Auction. And on ebay it is set for �0.99 why ? http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotvie...D=293&Lot=3541 There is something fishy about this coin on ebay, don't you think so. At Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ONE-Penny-1948...QQcmdZViewItem

Re: I have a Question about this Bronz coin ? They are actually both Copper coins,the more expensive is a rare Proof with only a dozen or so in existence

OK so how can you tell if there was no Bronze one penny coin's, I thought that the british decimalization was in the 60s or was that in the 70s from bronze to copper.

I just found one that say's Bronze Proof Penny, I think mjk1971 is on the right side, one could be in bronze and the other one is in copper.:wink: Thats why the one on ebay is cheep, becous its a fake. This one sold for $676 Dollars in 2003 http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotvie...ID=118&Lot=360

Re: I have a Question about this Bronz coin ? Austrlia went from copper to bronze when they decimalised everything,that was in 1966 so i imagine thats when the poms probably changed things over or thereabouts,they did not make any bronze coinage in 1948 in England,the 1948 penny was only made in Copper

Re: I have a Question about this Bronz coin ? Bronze sounds like a fancy word for tarnished copper.
