Rhodesian penny 1937

hi

new to this site and i have a question :-

I have a Rhodesian one penny (copper) coin dated 1937.

The coin is in good condition and was given to me by my dad. The issue I have is the center hole was struck incorretly by the then mint and was wondering if this could be worth anything more that what collectors pay for old Rhodesian coins.

If some body is interested I can email a picture of the coin.

thanks for your help.

Try the world coin forum. But damn, I'd like to see a picture - I've never seen a Rhodesian coin!

hdoolabh, most likely the blank came to the mint already punched from a big roll of copper-nickel alloy. Can you elaborate on "the center hole was struck incorretly by the then mint"? Is it off-center? Is it not circular? A picture would help but is not absolutely vital.

Check out ebay as there are various coins from Rhodesia and just about every other part of the world for sale here.

Is This Rhodesian penny worth anything?

Attached are two pictures one with heads and the other with Tails.

Notice that one penny has the hole struck incorrectly to the other normal one.

I would like to sell this odd penny and was wondering what its worth is today?

thanks folks.
