Title: Pretty Coloured Pennies and Halfpennies -not just purple!
Post by: purplepennyhunter on July 30, 2016, 07:52:16 AM
I was in a dealers shop the other day and he'd cracked a roll of halfpennies and they were all in a dish. This coin stood out and yelled at me to take it home. It has pretty glossy blue greens and pinks. Best $2 purchase ever.

Super cool! Small amount of doubling on HALF ?

everyone has their preferences
