First Roo Halfpenny in Choice Unc!

With the change to the new reverse occurring late in 1939, the first Bounding Roo Halfpenny is the scarcest George VI halfpenny. With the mintage a mere 782,400, it is a key to the entire 1910-64 series. Desirable in any grade, this crucial date is rarely seen in the superb state of preservation offered here. Graded at MS63BN (Choice Uncirculated Brown), this magnificent coin is a must-have for the serious collector.

Seldom seen in the superior quality apparent here, this lustrous WWII era George VI 1940 Halfpenny from the Melbourne Mint has been graded MS64RB – Choice Uncirculated Red Brown. Only four of this date graded higher by PCGS!
