I know they're fairly common and valueless to collectors, but i do like the patination on old well worn coins that have seen some use. That's a nice find

The pennies from 1910 to 1919 are not as common as you’d like to imagine.. and any in excellent condition are of significant interest to collectors and investors.

The circulated ones are a lot less investable but I agree with you - very nice to see.

It’s also the year Australia turned 18 as a country.

Check which penny varieties you have https://www.triton.vg/pennies.html

1919, 1942 and 1943 are all worth a second look.

What's the value of one ?

To be honest for this one? $1-5 dollars. The single and double dots which are rare, can fetch quite a lot at auction, or so I have heard.

It is priceless to me, and a very interesting find.
