George II, Halfpenny (Old Head) Very Fine

The copper Penny of Queen Victoria was issued between 1839 and 1860. It was a nice chunky copper coin, that was replaced by the thinner bronze Penny in 1860. We have this coin available in Fine, a grade that is better than they usually come. Because this coin was of such small value it tends to come up for sale in very used well circulated quality. These copper pennies are above average quality.

In 1915 the battle of Gallipoli started, the foundation of British Woman’s Institute, ANZAC tradition begins, German U-boat sinks the Lusitania, Pluto is photographed for the first time, 1st prototype tank is tested by British Army and Italy joins the Allies and declares war on Austrian Hungarian Empire. It was a very busy year, King George V had been on the throne for only four years and our coinage was still being struck in Sterling Silver. The largest Silver coin struck in this country was the Halfcrown or Two Shillings and Sixpence, the current decimal equivalent of 12.5 Pence. We have a nice group of Very Fine 1915 King George V Sterling Silver Halfcrowns in stock, which we can now offer you. Remember that Very Fine is much nicer than they usually come. The last time we had some of these Sterling Silver Halfcrowns in Very Fine they quickly sold out.

We bought a group of 62 Queen Victoria Old or Widow Head silver threepences in Extremely Fine condition a higher grade than they normally come in. We bought them from a dealer who spent a number of years putting this group together. Very nice type coins in a higher grade than you would expect to find them in. Dates will be of our choice but the more you order the more different dates we will try and give you.
