What’s up with GB 1971 new penny?

I was asked to look a small purse of world coins for someone and see the usual mix. But when I search 1971 new penny I see crazines.
Krause shows it to be the junk I thought it was so what’s up with these sold prices?

Internet mis-information.

Check whether they were relisted, not sold, like the one on the top here:

See if this answers your question.

And you're right, it's junk.

I figured as much. It was fun explaining to the owner that the sold prices they saw on eBay we’re “fake news”.
