Complete Halfpenny Collection including 1923 (aVF)
A complete halfpenny collection in reasonable condition with a 1923 halfpenny which is presented in Fine condition. This collection would be a great starting point for a collector to begin the journey of upgrading each coin in the set over time or simply enjoy having one of every Australian halfpenny in a complete set!
1923 Halfpenny
If the 1930 Penny is the 'King' of predecimal coinage the 1923 Halfpenny would be the logical 'Prince'.
With an estimated mintage of just 15,000 it is incredibly rare and particularly in higher grades. I would place this example in the upper-middle range for the 1923 Halfpenny. A bump up in grade would add a significant premium to the price.
| Weight | 5.67 grams |
| Composition | 97% Copper, 2.5% Zinc 0.5% Tin |
