Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 02:42 am I paid $10 for a very similar coin, (except it's a 1963 penny) from a coin club auction a few years ago. So it's certainly worth keeping aside rather than tossing it in the bulk copper bin, but it's not going to make you rich. It does show a nice Blakesley Effect. For a mint error like this to be worth noticeable money, you need to have the "bite" be so large that bits of the design are missing. Yet still, preferably, the coin remain fully identifiable as to date and mintmark. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 04:44 am That double clipped shilling that coaster referenced looks dubious (file job?). The OPs halfpenny is a keeper. Worth maybe $5-10. When the clip is much larger, or better yet a double or triple clip, then the value goes up. Also goes up with the denomination (Crown clips are rarest) and also goes up for early date (Geo V or Ed VII) pre decimals. Report this Post to the Staff
