Micky Very nice! I hadn't kept up with the design changes (I did until about 2005, knowing that even years were one type, odd another). I...

Slightly clearer version of my fantasy 1955 UK penny: [ATTACH]
Here's my Photoshop of the [non-existent] 1955 UK penny ... one better than the unique 1954 penny! [ATTACH]

I think part of it depends on where you are. 90% or 92½% silver coins will be wanted wherever, but the lesser amounts depend on country. So, 40%...
