Penny - 1831 to 1837 - Price Guide
The penny was originally minted in silver, but from the late 18th century it was minted in copper, and, because of a survey in 1857 by the Royal Mint, the composition changed to bronze after 1860. The survey showed that around one third of all copper coinage was worn or mutilated, often by advertisements.
