<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneyer12, post: 1054907, member: 28233&quot;]in the george V run there are two types of penny, to look for, being namely the heaton and kings norton varieties which denotes the source mint. </p><p>you will never get the 1933 as there were only 8 minted and all bar one are accounted for, the one not accounted for was stolen from under the foundation stone of a church which was built in 1933. there is also a very scarce george VI penny from 1952 which was never officially released for circulation because the king died. </p><p>the reason they were never minted between 1954 and 1960 was because of the sheer volume of pennies which were in circulation.</p><p>we used to have fun as children seeing how many different pennies we could find and my friend found a rather worn cartwheel penny which he exchanged with me for a catapult.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>hope that gives you a bit of help.............[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
