Victoria, Halfpenny (Copper) 1862 Unc

When Queen Victoria came to the throne the first thing they had to do was strike coins with her portrait on them. One of my favourites and the most difficult denomination to get was the Halfpenny. In those days halfpennies were struck between 1838 -1860 on thick planchets of copper not the thin bronze coins they would issue later. You have the Young Head of Queen Victoria on one side and the seated figure of Britannia on the other side. We have a few and I do mean a few of the high grade examples to offer you. Supplies are limited and this is, after all, the most difficult denomination to get, especially in high grades.

Queen Victoria was our second longest serving Monarch, 1837-1901. The last coins struck for her were dated 1901. We have a nice but small group of the 1901 Old Head halfpennies in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. A nice type coin and the Halfpenny is much more difficult to get than the Penny, especially in such nice condition. The last ever halfpenny of Queen Victoria, worth adding to your collection, while supplies last.
