Title: 1961 Y proof half penny
Post by: trout on June 25, 2015, 12:21:19 PM
I just picked this up from the post office.
Shame about the dark bits on the reverse.
What do you think this will grade at ?

It's unattractive and unsalable (regardless of what the catalogues say) unless someone is looking for a super cheap example.  Waste of money getting it graded.  You would have been better off putting it in an Eagle mount.
