Title: 1963Y Half Penny. Strike Through
Post by: Fr45h3R on August 06, 2013, 06:06:16 PM
Hi All,

Got this one today, it has what looks like a nice strike through on the obverse between the : and the + , and the metal is still there.

Looks quite unusual to me.

very interesting
I think I see a seller on ebay who lists these as worm lines or something odd like that

Thanks Lacey.
Just 2 coins off finishing my PCGS graded QEII set in 1/2 pennies. Then I can focus on KGVI.

I have finished florin and threepence.  And now I have  NO BUY COINS! for a little while.  Very hard to resist clicking that button tho.

Lacey, have you completed the entire Florin and Threepence set or just the QEII? As the former would be quite an achievement if they were all PCGS graded and hence obviously not all just VG-VF.

lol, no way.  That is just a tad more than I could manage.  Would be lovely though.
