George VI, Halfcrown 1940 Unc

In the Elizabeth II pre-decimal series there are just some dates that stand out and for sure 1964 is one of them. Don’t forget by 1964 the Mint was cutting down on the number of coins they were issuing in preparation of Decimal Day. It was only in 1967 that they realised that they needed a lot more coins to satisfy the daily demand for day to day transactions. That is why the 1967 coinage is so readily available. We have now available the scarce 1964 Halfcrown issue which Ian found on a buying trip to New Zealand, most difficult to find. Offered in Uncirculated condition and very difficult to find these days. Supplies are, of course, limited.

These are not common and are in Uncirculated to Brilliant Uncirculated condition. That means that they are Uncirculated with lustre but not fully Brilliant. Here at Coincraft we try to grade coins properly.

The 1962 Halfcrown has always been one of the most difficult to buy in uncirculated condition. After all the last halfcrown issued for use was only dated 1967. It is the largest denomination issued by Queen Elizabeth II for daily usage– Two Shillings and Sixpence. These 1962 Halfcrowns are in Uncirculated and difficult to find, if 1962 is special to you, then it would make a great gift.
