1930 Penny VF25
The most iconic coin in Australian collecting history. The 1930 penny embodies a multitude of desirable traits sought after by many collectors and investors alike.
Struck in the great depression and in comparatively minuscule numbers, the famous 1930 penny was not actually identified as a key date for collectors until the mid 1940’s when articles began to circulate which speculated the date was a common gap in most penny collections.
An explanation for the delayed realisation of the rarity of the 1930 penny may be due to the inability for many average citizens to collect pennies. The depression rendered many households devoid of expendable income and collecting currency would have been temporarily relegated to the more affluent members of society.
