Why is it so hard to find a 1962 half penny

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.

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.

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
