Penny - 1937 to 1951 - Price Guide

George V pennies were produced every year to the same standard until 1922, but after a three-year gap in production the alloy composition was changed to 95.5% copper, 3% tin and 1.5% zinc. Pennies were not minted every year of George VI's reign. The pre-decimal penny was demonetised on 1 September 1971, just over six months after decimalisation, and replaced (in effect) by the decimal half new penny, with ½p being worth 1.2d.
