I have a coin that appears to be a 1977 25 new pence coin from Great Britian commemorating Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee. The problem with the coin is that it has a date of 1877 instead of the 1977 date. Has anyone heard of this coin? I have added a picture of both sides of the coin. I wonder if it is a copy or a counterfiet?

You mean in a container with 50p, 10p, 5p, 2p, penny and halfpenny... We'd been decimal for the past 6 years by that point. __________________ To reiterate Roy's words , 'a £0.01 coin is a penny, and not a cent, the UK have never issued cents'   05-10-2004, 04:53 PM   #5 (permalink) guy Senior Member   Join Date: May 2004 Location: uk, england, london Posts: 254 i have a coin just like that but it says 1977 so u must have either a very rare mistake or a conterfit and they got the date wrong   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
