Wow!!! I found the biggest penny I have ever seen. I also killed the coin. When I flipped the plug over it was right where the scoop went in. Oh well I guess it happens. I was hunting an old school yard when I found the 1962 big penny. It gave me a dollar signal at 4.5 ". The school was built in 1929 but I don't know what was there before that. We also found a 1942 merc. dime and tons of clad. Here is a little history on the coin.
This is a British One Penny Elizabeth II Gratia Regina F D 1962 coin. It is a large penny , a large cent coin that measures 1 1/4" across. The series of large British pennies concludes with the mintings of the penny with the inscription ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F D. At least one 1954 penny was struck, apparently for private internal purposes at the Royal Mint, but it was not until 1961 that there was a need for more pennies to be minted, so production continued from 1961 to 1967, with 1967 being the last minting.
