1930 Penny Identification

[sabrehagen]

Hi,

I have absolutely no idea about coins, but I found this in my cupboard, and I have always heard that the 1930s penny is the rarest. Can you tell me if this is an imitation, or even a real Australian coin?

Thanks!

English 1930 Penny- often used to fill the hole in the album where the Aussie 1930 penny will never reside. (lol)

That is a genuine 1930 penny, Unfortunately it is a British penny in about VF valued at 2 Quid.
If it was an Australian Penny the value would be more like $27.500.

Was kept perhaps because the Cud (lump on the Kings Head) is unusual. Worth keeping.!

One can easily identify and English coin as it is the only currency that does not endorse it's countries identity on them.
