    I believe that's a 1958 "halfpenny" not a penny. Otherwise, ajaan would have bought a fake.image

    Did that one come from Northeast?

    Great haul Ajaan:

    Did you get the 1937 15 coin set which includes maundy money? Does it say specimen set on the box? just curious.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Wybrit is correct, it is a 1/2d Proof. 'kat, yes it is the 15 coin proof set with original case which is in very good shape. And yes, the '93 Halfcrown came from NEN.
