PWA 1967 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 (edited) I hadnt seen or know about these until this morning and appear to be extremely rare. Possibly only found in the 1953 rare (VIP) proof set. Unrecorded Obverese 1 by Freeman in proof. Apologies for the ngc scan not being very clear, only other i have found is one that sold in a rare set at LCA. A friend of mine also bought a 1967 Proof Halfpenny on Sunday, which again i didnt know existed. Edited February 25 by PWA 1967 Quote

Nala Posted February 27 Posted February 27 This is my example (hopefully!). Apologies for the photo of the obverse. Must have taken over twenty photos and the majority came out without the top of Elizabeth’s nose. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 Can i ask please did you know what you had before the post and did you buy the coin in a proof set or on its own please. I have asked a few people to look at ones they have trying to find some and yours is the first 😀 Most of the currency are obverse 1 but proofs as of today very rare 👍 If you wish to sell it please send me a message.

Nala Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Yes I knew what I had before this post. I bought the coin at a provincial auction several years ago. It was advertised as an obverse I and I agreed. The lot contained the halfpenny only and did not come with a set. I was pleased to be the successful bidder. What are the thoughts on how these coins have come about? Are they from broken up VIP sets? Quote

I have since found out the NGC one in my post wasnt in a rare set and was more i only saw the NGC scan on Monday / Tuesday and the only other i could find was in an LCA Rare 1953 Set. Posting on here was a way of trying to find anymore and thank you for your pictures. Today (Friday) i have been told of another one, although as i cant find very many i dont really have a clue. They seem to be very rare but like the 1953 Scarcer proof Halfcrowns possibly more than i originally thought as only been looking a few days and all guess work. Maybe as you saw and bought that one a few years ago, you have seen others since ? Can you tell me which Auction and lot number you bought it from please as its definately Obverse 1 and does look like a proof. Edited March 1 by PWA 1967 Quote
VickySilver Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Hmmm, hadn't thought about the mattes at all, but don't seem to have any others. Quote
