1942 Melbourne Halfpenny - PCGS MS63RB

Australia, 1942 Melbourne Halfpenny -

The 1942 Melbourne halfpenny is one of those dates that just doesn’t come up too often. My research indicates that in the last four years the date has appeared on the market in a PCGS holder just four times. This isn’t surprising, considering PCGS has only graded twenty coins in Mint State (December 2013). Make no mistake about it: This is a rare date. The coin photographed above is in a very respectable grade of PCGS MS63RB. Colouring is even and there is good underlying brilliance on both ‘verses. The new owner will be pleased to add this coin to a high-quality PCGS Set Registry Set.
