Interesting find - for me anyway!

[jwkow]

Searched 6 boxes and about 150 of CWR of half dollars this week.

Found

1965
1968 x 3
Huge 1911 Penny

Has any one else found on of these or can you tell me about it? Its the oldest coin I've found besides a 1910 wheat cent.

Looks like you found an Australian penny from 1911. The mintage is 3,768,000 I believe.

I found a 1949 large penny from Great Britain yesterday. It happened to be in the last Brinks roll that I opened.

I found an Australian large penny about 6 months ago.

It is worth $1 in Fine and $4 in VF. I know your coin is within those two grades. XF is $22.50

Very nice find. At first glance I though it is a large Canadian penny, but after looking at monarch and going to read the other side. It is an Australian coin. Pretty cool though.
