Why is it so hard to find a 1962 half penny

[lacey]

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)

[lacey]

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?

[Goldseeker]

To what grade are you after?

[lacey]

I haven't got any

To what grade are you after?

ms65 red

[enworb]

Its going to be tough to get one in that grade.

[robbiegal]

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

[robbiegal]

Where's Lacey??
I found some snaps of my nice 1962 halfpenny - just to prove to you that they can show up very noice
