Nothing special about it other than the fact that its a George V unc penny possibly choice.I think $80
was cheap as cat value is $275-$500

The photos look good. I think with your experience in buying coins in this condition you'll have done well. Make sure you put up some high res images when you get it eh! Repat coin Steveo?

That's a lovely coin! I had 6 bags with around 1000 pennies each in them once containing more 1936's than I could handle. I ended up moving the lot on for less than 10 cents a coin. This was before I was familiar with ebay. Regretting that now.

Yeah the 1936 penny is fairly common but I think they are worth collecting in Uncirculated condition so this last 1936 acquisition makes 4

Yeah anything pre-decimal in uncirculated condition is absolutely worth collecting!
