Sorry, but I doubt it.

This date is widely counterfeited and altered, and as such, automatically raises suspicion. If you want a buyer, you’ll need to post better pictures and a closeup of the date area.

I say this in an attempt to be helpful, rather than trying to sabotage your listing. If it’s a real 1933 penny, you’ve got something very good there. But you’re going to need to provide your buyers with better photos and some assurance of authenticity. Submitting it to PCGS, our forum hosts, would be one way to do that.

The coin posted by the OP is not genuine. It’s worth maybe 20 cents as a novelty piece.

Yes....obvious fake.

Hater.

these guys know their coins well I'd listen to them and learn

your coin is one that has been faked many times in the past and present times so the chance it may be real is slim to none cause of so many fakes out there of this coin that still exist and since it's raw the chances of it being fake are high, now if it was slabbed by a grading company then the chances of it being real would improve but as it stands now a high chance it's a fake

sorry it's not what you want to hear but that is the cold hard real-world facts of the matter

People are not "haters" just because they tell you information you don't want to hear (or may already know). This forum is full of experts, and most of them are trying to be helpful. The 1933 British penny is the UK equivalent of the 1943 US copper cents, there are thousands of fakes for every genuine piece known. And the odds of anyone cherrypicking one from circulation are far less than their odds of getting struck by lightning on a cloudless day. It's also rather suspicious that the obverse (heads) side of your coin is in clear focus, but the telltale date side is noticeably out of focus.

The grading company and cia, are working intandom to flush out fake coins,I would think. I respect this community, in due course, of the learning and presentaion of my person and my coins presented to this fine community. And as for this, my 1933, king George v., Penny. I have learned in my research, of this coin: Pattern coin, small head variety. Large head, had trouble fitting because of coins were ghosting obverse. I'm open-minded. Thanks.

They are actually not. It is not worth their time to go out and find which coins are fakes as the counterfeiters will just continue to make more. Many rare coins have more fakes than genuine examples and more are being continually made.

I personally am not experienced in British coins but I will trust the opinions of the above posters in that the coin you have pictured is a fake because they are the experts. @brg5658 @DoubleEagle59
