Best of luck with that one Ceri.

A 1933 penny listed as a fake sold for £77 quite recently on e-bay, which is quite bizarre as you can buy uncirculated copies for £15 on the net.

I think the best thing to do is pop it in post, send it to me and I will sort it out for you.

The Royal Mint had no plans to make any pennies in 1933 because there were already plenty around.

However, a small number were produced following requests for a commemorative coin. experts have always worked on the basis there were seven.

Of these, three were placed by the King under the foundation stones of buildings, two were presented to the British Museum and two found their way to private collectors.

In September 1970, during building work, one of the coins was stolen from the cornerstone of the Church of St Cross in Middleton, Leeds.

Rather than risk a further theft, the Bishop of Ripon ordered that another coin buried at St Mary's Church in Hawksworth should be unearthed and sold.

Today the Mint Museum, British Museum and the University of London each hold one of the coins, with three in private collections.

Which means you`ve got the "Stolen" one Ceri   .....
