Victorian ‘Bun Head’ Pennies from 1875-1879

These Pennies by L.C. Wyon struck in the 1875-79 including the Heaton Mint. The design is referred to as the “Bun Head” penny and is one of the most popular series to collect in the whole English milled series. Made of bronze (95% copper), they were durable and widely circulated, still to be found in change 100 years later.
