I'm not sure either. I would say the value of the coin doesn't warrant slabbing the coins?!?!

With 38 showing up on the population report
I'd say no one has done a Bulk Submission yet.
Robbie is spot on about Good ones.
BJ is pretty much spot on regards Value.
As an individual submission, the cost to obtain a
raw coin + slab cost is probably 5X the actual
value of the coin.
Check with Erik's site or Sterling site they may have them.
PP might have them as well
We don't have one, and have only ever had one. Now that the PCGS subisssion dates have changed to post 1965 for moderns I doubt we'll send another unless it's outstanding.
I only have one in my collection, as well as 1963, compared with 7 slabbed 1964's, 7 1961's and 2 1960's.
ok it looks like I won't finish my set. I 'll have to concentrate on finishing the others but some of them are hard to come by as well.

I guess for me at this second, i'm happy with this, but will be unhappy in the future. I had the 1955 1/2 I wanted to send but it would fall into modern, and would need a different service.
But now they've changed it I can use my voucher (World Secure Plus service) to send the 1955 along with some of my older coins.
As for 1962 half pennies, I was asking myself the same thing.
There is a few graded though based on the population report but I haven't seen many for sale.
When they do show up nice they are stunning little halfpennies
(But I do have a bias being a 60's pre-dec collector)
Having said that I only have one that might make it in as a 'red' if it were submitted to pcgs. (Walter thought it would & he's know)
yeah but, it's not just the h'penny, it's also 1960 & 1961 penny, a 1954 florin, some 3dses, 6dses, shillings.
All the dates I would like to finish my sets just seem to be for ever out of reach. I have been looking for yonks but I can't find any. I have looked on PP's site, Eric's site, Stuart andersen but he's got no slabs on it any more, Walter's site and auction and so on, including ebay and quicksales
I'm so fed up with getting no results, I am right now waiting to see if i win the paper note.
How about submitting raw coins yourself or through Eric?
To what grade are you after?
I haven't got any
Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='6843' dateline='1358675436'To what grade are you after?
ms65 red
Its going to be tough to get one in that grade.
MS 65 red eh??
hummm let me know possum when you find it
i once upon a time did have a 1960 in MS 65 RB but it is in another's loving coin collection
i will keep an eye out for you lacey - one of the few 1960's collectors around
we are a rare breed indeed
Where's Lacey??
I found some snaps of my nice 1962 halfpenny - just to prove to you that they can show up very noice

Very nice Robbie.
Here's my two 1962y half pennies. PPH probably has 37 of them. The first one is a MS64RD and the other (sorry for the small image) is a MS65RB.

lovely
your full red is nicer than mine
top coins!

Dunno about that. I was hopeful mine would be a 65RD but it doesn't have the lustre. Yours does but I am not sure what PCGS would think of the toning line on the reverse.
As a side note I find it amusing to look for raw RD QE2 half pennies and get them graded. I don't actually sell them but watch with a grin on my face when other RD QE2 half pennies get bid up to stupid amounts.
I found this one in my folder. It's not teaming with lustre but has a bit. I is a nice coin.
Wondering if I should send it to PCGS.

A wonderful collective of halfpennies.! Thanks for sharing.!
Quote from: 'markn' pid='7246' dateline='1359107814'PPH probably has 37 of them.
No, I told everyone on page 1, I only have one graded. There wouldn't be 37 raw one's, but they aren't worthy of PCGS.
OK 5 months down the track and have still to find just one.
Surely if 1964 pennies go over the ocean in buckets loads, it would still be worth getting a 1962 1/2d. I can't be the only one wanting to add it to their set. Or don't ppl do sets any more?

It's probably because I'm the only one silly enough to send them to PCGS indiscriminately and I hadn't sent 1962 rolls in yet - I have now so they'll be very abundant in a few weeks.
don't flood the market Walter :)

:thank_you:
Can't wait!!
lol I found one today. it turns out I had it all along but, I think I will still buy one off you WWWW. Just as a spare.
Yes, I have one too. Seriously thought it would be red. :(

looks beautiful to me :heart:
and i'm surprised that it's not a 64+
Well I got my grades in, 90 1962-Y half pennies from MS63BN to MS66RB - their days of being hard to find are nearly over.
good on ya Walter, go hard mate :winkextra: any come back that they didn't grade :scratch_one-s_head:
7 no grades in the order, they're probably just minimum grades though as I told them not to slab anything below MS63.
Oh, that's good that you can do that and save your self a bit of money by them not grading lesser grades, shame you still have to pay to get them back but still good, thanks mate :good:
MS66
how beautiful is that coin?
look out Walter, looks like someone has her eye on ya coins mate :)
probably out of my league mate
it will go up on numis bid and make some sort of world record $$ hammer price :cray:
Maybe if we all ask Walter really really nice ya might get luck..PLEASE PLEASE Walter give robbie a break :beg:
There ya go mate I did me bestest, sorry if it doesn't work :-/
ha ha
nah, it's cool
I have a nice precious here that one day i'll post off to that PCGS mob
'gonna' being the operative word!! ha ha
can't say that I wouldn't mind a peek tho!! ..
I'd like a peek too, but I won't get to see them until they return from PCGS. I got a couple of MS65RBs though - they seem to be at the sweet spot for affordability and quality. There's even an MS65RD 1963-Y half penny among them!
good for you walter.. and us
just have to wait till they hit these shores meanwhile i am off to work to earn coin to buy coin !
;)
Hi Walter,
let us know when you have these ready for sale. Do you have 65rb's in both '62 and '63 ?
-rob
Yep, let me know too. You will have to send me an email, otherwise I will miss out.
Yes, several MS65RBs of each. They're just waiting to be cleared through customs.
I have followed this thread from the start and my smart comment would be "that they don't mint them any more....". I just didn't want to upset anyone!
and my smart comment back to you would be, you will never get rich buying money, lol. This is a poor person's hobby.
ha ha. Totally agree.
walter,
bit of interest being shown, looks like a bid or 2 coming up !
my buy digit is ready :taunt:
