Title: 1961Y Half Pennies
Post by: markn on October 07, 2013, 10:41:41 AM
Perth copper isn't my favourite thing to collect but it's one the things I enjoy imaging the most.  PPH and I got to pick through a broken roll of 1961Y half pennies last week and as usual the range of colours was astounding.  Here's the 12 coins that we picked.

I am a big fan of the "Wood Grain" coppers, Those coins in images #5 and #6 are absolute corkers :yahoo: :good:

Thanks trout.  Here they are all together.  If someone is graphically talented perhaps they could make some forum desktop wall paper out of them?  I can supply larger images if required.

Nope.  

My two faves are the two leftmost coins on the bottom row of the group shot.
