The '46 penny is a Chinese Copy.

The '23 Halfpenny not genuine.

I concur with Mr ford perfect on  fakeos,  nice pickup rob on the 1961 half very nice

i like a good fake
great to see the big '46' stamped on that coin
many don't have anything that tells the buyer it's a copy
still after my ever elusive perfect 1964 penny
a recent find on our week-end away
it is very 'light' in the colour in the hand - more like the 1963 pennies that show up in the very salmon type of colour
i am wondering if it would classify as a 'red'?


found this little guy in a dealers dollar bin
bit bag marked and knocked around
but still worth loving!

Re: the 64 penny getting a RED designation. I sent a 53 halfpenny to PCGS recently that was exactly the same to see if it would get RED.  Have to wait and see now.  I would say yes but getting RED on Perth copper is very difficult at PCGS.

thanks echidna
i will be interested in what you get
yes, same here - I am in search of the elusive 'red' as well!!

we joined pcgs and still haven't sent a consignment over
we packed up a little group
added the $$$
and they remain here in a little lunch box!! waiting for us to take the plunge

nice set there Trout

Nice penny Rob, it might get a red.  I've had mixed luck with Perth mint copper, they just don't seem to like giving it a red.  Melbourne coins are no problem.  I wonder if it's because red Melbourne copper tends to have the lustre you'd expect while Perth copper is generally flat and lifeless when it's red.

This is a repatriation from the US,a nice golden streaky 58 Y. penny.

[robbiegal]

[Robster]

Another great coin- I am noodling a bunch of 58's as we speak.!! Hope to find something neat.!!
