FREE: 1971 & 1976 British New Pennies

The listing, 1971 & 1976 British New Pennies has ended.

The two photos to the left are the actual coins you will receive, the other two photos are stock photos. The British decimal one penny (1p) coin, produced by the Royal Mint, was issued on 15 February 1971, the day the British currency was decimalised. In practice, it had been available from banks in bags of £1 for some weeks previously. The coin, known at first as a "new penny", was initially minted from bronze, but since 1992 it has been minted in copper-plated steel. The original reverse of the coin, designed by Christopher Ironside, and used from 1971 to 2008, is a crowned portcullis with chains (an adaptation of the Badge of Henry VII which is now the Badge of the Palace of Westminster), with the numeral "1" written below the portcullis, and either NEW PENNY (1971–1981) or ONE PENNY (1982–2008) above the portcullis.
To date, three different obverses have been used. In all cases, the inscription is ELIZABETH II D.G.REG.F.D. year. In the original design both sides of the coin are encircled by dots.
Between 1971 and 1984 the head of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin was used, in which the Queen wears the 'Girls of Great Britain and Ireland' Tiara.
The words NEW PENNY were used up until 1981.

I am cleaning out some stuff little by little, I don't have my good camera with me so I have to use my cell phone camera, sorry about the picture quality :(
I do have a pup & a couple of cats in my home & although I'm not a smoker, people do occasionally smoke in my home. If this bothers you, please do not bid on any of my items. After receiving the winner's information I will ship this out (within the US) within two business days with a tracking number that I will provide to you free of charge.
