This specimen was lot 3472 in Stephen Album sale 38 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2020), where it sold for $101.15. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN: George V, 1910-1936, AE penny, 1914, beautifully full red, well struck, in old NGC slab, NGC graded MS64 RD." This penny was introduced on the accession of George V in 1911 and retained the Britannia reverse first used in 1860. None were made 1923-25. Persistent striking problems caused modifications to the bust in 1926 and again in 1928 tho all the circulating denominations were similarly afflicted. This is a common date.
