1913 One Penny

6 posts
I have a 1913 Georvis V Dei Gra Britt Omn Rex Fid Def Ind IMp. The coin is not Bronze. It has a silver look and sound. It is not attracted by a magnet. Can you help identify the coin. Thank YOU
It's more than likely silver plated, I have seen several of these in the past.
Could it be a Copper-Nickel Colonial issue? Do you have any pictures?
Just because you can't see it ... doesn't mean it isn't there - Anon.

Former coin and banknote catalogue referee.
The UK did make a silver penny still does but the design is different here is a link to a picture

If it looks like a regular penny then it is most likely silver plated people do that

If it doesn't look like either of these you could post pictures someone here will likely know
what you have

Hope this helps
I think you would notice the difference between a normal penny and a maundy penny til56.  Those things are tiny, did you see the size on the link you posted? only 11mm.
There is no mention of any silver 1913 Pennies in Peck. It is worth weighing it to check but it probably is plated.

A Bronze Unc Penny should weigh 9.45 grams.
