Just wondering if anyone if interested in this coin. Cost is $1100. I put it at a solid Fine grading. Nice brown tone and good rims.

Lovely coin Matt I'd grade it at aVF

I would like one of those Matt but...old story, no finances. About the best I might afford at present would be an aGood grade (just possible to read the date) in a 1923 ½d.

Sorry ebworth would love to have a go at buying it but I already own two and "she who must be obeyed has spoken".......................

Thanks for looking guys

Matty why not send it away to PCGS and get it slabbed then sell it through Walters site.
I am sure you will do far there than selling it here :ok:
I would dearly love to take this off your hands and fill that void in my hapenny collection But after Xmas, PCGS/NGC fees things are a bit tight at the moment :dash1:

I dont think i can be bothered sending it to pcgs jim. I dont reckon it would grade well and probably wouldnt add any value. Might have to go the ebay route

Out of interest what do you think pcgs would grade it?

I would tend to think this would come back as a VF35 PCGS, Bluesheet value of $1500.
It's up to you mate but $400 is a lot to throw away on this :ok:

I'm with Trout on this, if you go the fleabay route with a raw coin you might get bids under a grand, pay a heck in feepay and paypal costs and end up with a dodgy buyer claiming he never got the coin asking for a paypal refund.
A slab would cost perhaps $60 (via Drake Sterling?) and even if you go the sleezebay route to sell you would get bids from those who are leery of all the fakes.

Good advice,I'm sending my 3 down to Eric on Monday for a bit of a holiday to PCGS.Can't go wrong I reckon

Ok ive decided this one will go for a holiday (hopefully a brief one).

Your coin would grade VF25-30 with PCGS. I would personally suggest selling a 1923 halfpenny of that quality through an auction house if you can get a good rate off them (always negotiate). I don't think PCGS will add a premium for the coin, rather just allow you to sell it outside of an auction house.
