Britain 1/2 penny
July 15, 2013, 04:33:37 PM
I just acquired (8) Unc. G B 1967 1/2 penny coins for $2 U S. I know the mintage was over 146 million, but being over 45 yrs old, might there be any value to them? I purchased them due the the reverse....a ship, as I purchased several rolls of N Z 50 centers in N Z due to that coin's 'ship' reverse.

Goose, no real numismatic value in his coin. Krause list it as 10c in UNC.
If you like I though, then it is priceless.

I put an 8 in parentheses and it turned out to be a 'smiley face' (didn't know that). I purchased 8 for $2 so I guess I'm out 15 cents each ($1.20).....dunno if I can afford that loss. Hmmm, maybe they'll pass in a machine that takes quarters.

                                       XF    Unc  
1967 146,491,000         .15    .55

I did forget to mention that my Krause was an old version.
Thanks for the updated values, Nancy.

The '67 halfpenny was (and still is) extremely common to find in Unc, thanks to a huge hoard of mint rolls they found. If you bought a copy of the Rotographic "Collectors Coins GB 2008" catalogue, they gave away an Unc '67 halfpenny for free, stapled to the front cover. Amazon.

If a book publisher is giving them away as freebies, they're not going to be super-valuable.
