PCGS MS-65 Red." 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.
