Not sure but it does look a little strange - maybe it has just been scanned instead of photograp

PM for info regarding seller

Just got this one back from PCGS it graded MS67 higher than I thought it would grade.

The coin has a few hairlines on the obverse under magnification but still managed to grade PCGS MS67.

Just purchased this Halfpenny. Hope it looks as good in the hand as it does in the PCGS photos.

Certainly looks a lot better than mine.

This is my dream coin. If only I had a spare 50 grand.

Nice chicken, but $50,000 ?

spraggdean23 · February 28, 2024, 03:00:14 PM

Yep, it is listed on eBay USA for US $30975. I doubt the seller will get that amount. I would say the coin is probably worth somewhere around US $15000 mark but I am not sure about the prices for these specimens.

Irish Predecimals I collect quite a bit.

I see them infrequently, especially the farthings and any coin before 1943.
In 5 years I have accumulated most of the post 1950 base metal material, but only the following in silver

Halfcrowns - 1928, 1933, 1939, 1940, 1941
Floirins - 1928 (That first year was a big issue of coins and easy to get), 1940, 1942 (Seriously, that tough)
Shilling 1928, 1933 (Very worn), 1940 and 1942
Ten Shilling coin 1966

I also collect the later coins too and have most of the Pennies, but not halfpence or farthings.

In addition, I collect the pre 1928 material, but only have a 1723 Woods Halfpenny, 1766 (Worn flat) and a decent 1805 and 1822 Halfpennies (Hibernias).
