QUESTION: I don't know. I have an 1896 half penny it is much bigger and I know pennies are bigger too.
You don't give size but it is a half penny or a penny for sure. Thank you for being nasty with the rating. I'm correct and you are wrong. If you don't want the correct answer then you should not ask the question. I've been selling coins for 41 years. How manys years do you have in the trade?
