Title: Opinions on a 1915 Half Penny
Post by: MattTheRiley on June 18, 2015, 06:49:53 PM

Hi all,

I scored this in a trade for nearly nothing!

Guesses on grade and value?

Nice score!
The 1915H only has a mintage of 720,000.
The last price catalogue I bought, list this coin at AUD$600 in VF.  ;D

That's a much better pic, Matt.
Might even make XF in U.S. grading.
Definitely worth the cost of slabbing I would say.

Nice! In the 2014 Aussie price guide, that makes it a $900 coin. Bloody great pick up.

A penny is a penny...no matter if it is a half or full.

Unless it is a 1930, that is!
