[QUOTE="andyscouse, post: 1055510, member: 27100"]There is a unique 1954 penny, and there are reputed to be two proof 1952 pennies (one for sure). As one poster said, there were enough pennies in circulation for the dates you mentioned. In summary, pennies were minted thus: VICTORIA (Old Head) 1895 - 1901 EDWARD VII 1902 - 1910 GEORGE V 1911 - 1922 (also 1912H, 1918H, 1919H, 1918KN, 1919KN) 1926 - 1932 (also 1926 modified effigy) 1933 just 7 minted, all bar one accounted for 1934 - 1936 (the 1934 was issued mint darkened) EDWARD VIII 1937 ... specimen proofs only - none generally available GEORGE VI 1937 - 1940 1944 - 1951 (the 1944-46 are produced mint-toned and aren't generally lustrous) 1952 1 or 2 proofs known ELIZABETH II 1953 only produced in Unc in mint sets (but some were broken up and spent), and proof in proof sets 1954 unique circulation penny 1961 - 1967[/QUOTE]
