Description:

One Kilogram Bulk Australian Pre-Decimal Pennies and Halfpennies - KGV, KGVI and QEII Mixed Dates

A kilogram of Australian history. These large bronze pennies were the backbone of everyday Australian commerce for over half a century, and this lot covers the full span of the pre-decimal penny era from the George V years right through to just before decimalisation in 1966.


Description

The photos show a generous pile of predominantly penny-sized bronze coins, mostly showing the kangaroo reverse, across multiple decades of Australian monetary history. The lot includes both pennies (1d) and halfpennies (1/2d) across the King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II reigns, spanning approximately 1911 to 1964. Condition ranges from Good to Fine (approximately G-4 to F-12 on the Sheldon scale), with circulation wear, natural bronze patina and toning consistent with coins that actually circulated. Good hunting ground for a collector building a date run, and a worthwhile entry point for anyone getting into pre-decimal Australian bronze. You're paying bulk weight prices for a lot that could easily contain date-run filllers worth more individually.
