    A 1971 new penny if its a pre July one or one of the ones minted before 31st December 1971 is worth a fortune.
    I had one of these back in 1971 wish i still had it. Back in 1971 these where worth at least two half pennies.Now if you still had one would be worth... Hang on while i sit down , god i feel faint..... Can't believe someone still has one of these valuable coins...

    I found a 1916 half penny while moving a piano last week end, glad I can expect £7.5 for it :)
