How much do you suppose this coin would fetch at auction and do you think it is worth getting graded? Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5240 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 2:00 pm I don't see any errors, just a heavily circulated coin. Maybe some machine doubling-experts can advise. Dealers sell them in their bulk bins for 10 to 25 cents each. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17930 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 2:29 pm I think this coin has taken a few hits in circulation. Even if there is some Machine Doubling, minor errors on British coins aren't as sought after as on US ones. My LCS has halfpennies like this in the junk tray for 10 pence each. Keep it as a nice souvenir with an interesting personal historical connection. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
