1938 Proof Halfpenny - PCGS PR63RD

Australia, 1938 Proof Halfpenny -

Unlike most pre-1955 proofs, which are rare VIP issues struck for dignitaries and mint officials, the proof coins of 1938 were issued commercially to collectors. Consequently, they are relatively affordable and appeal to collectors who might want an example of a pre-1955 proof coin but don’t want to spend five-figures to obtain one. This 1938 halfpenny, graded PR63DC with PCGS, is the equal-finest red example certified by them (5/23), and one of the best examples we’ve handled in the last decade. It’s fully brilliant, clean, and free from imperfections like fingerprints, spots, or toning. If you’re a collector with a taste for quality, this is your coin.
