I don't have the coin in hand yet, that's the sellers image.
<< <i>How many of them are out there? >>
If anyone finds out, I would love to know. The British mint told me 3-5. The one I posted is number five for me. I know of at least two other coins, that's not counting the one NGC graded DCAM so perhaps more. Gotta be careful with NGC population, I don't know if any have been sent in twice, I doubt it, but could be.
DPOTD-3 'Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery'
Aj, I think the number struck of these VIP proofs can vary tremendously and the stock answer is usually 5-10. I have some knowledge and experience with these and especially the silvers (but also copper and brass) and think it may be likely that the numbers may occasionally range up to the 20-30 range. The '58 1/2d had been one to show up a bit more commonly but now maybe not so that you have such a number!!
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.

Is there a 1958 halfpenny addict support group hotline, anyone?
The good kind of green... like blue-green iridescence, perhaps?

You're trying to corner the market on 'em.
(That comment was in semi-jest, but hey... if they're really that rare, then maybe you're on your way?)
