George III Pennies from 1807
divider
The 1807 George III penny is a historic copper coin - it was the final currency year for pennies of this reign, they also represented a major leap forward in minting technology. The Royal Mint lacked the capacity to produce enough copper coins, so production was outsourced to Matthew Boulton’s Soho Mint in Birmingham. These were among the first coins struck using Boulton's revolutionary steam-powered presses that could produce coins of superior quality and appearance. We have a group of these large, 219 year old copper pennies available in two grades to suit your budget.
