Dollar 1935 Valued Member Canada 321 Posts	Posted 07/26/2023 8:39 pm A few weeks ago while I was checking the pop report of NGC I was surprised to see they listed a single 1952 1/2P in PF-67RB. Anyone who has interest in KGVI proofs will recognise how phenomenal such a newly discovered coin in proof condition for this date would be, and in such a wonderfull state of preservation at that! I was surprised to see no publications about it but I didnt pushed further. Tonight I realized why when I was checking the Cert. numbers of a South African proof set I recently acquired... Its too bad people buy the coin, not the holder because I would be substantially richer now... ''Buy the very best, stretch to buy it. It means if you can't afford to buy it, buy it anyway." -Steven Duckor Edited by Dollar 1935 07/26/2023 8:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Quite often, slab dents and scratches show up as closely doubled images, but that is not always the case; that depends on the lighting direction and angle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Love the very slight (if at all), cameo devices of Royal Mint coins of this period, with highly finished, but non mirror fields. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proof Halfpennies for 1952 are reported, and as attested by this slabbed coin. However, proof sets in the low tens of thousands are not reported for the 1952 date, and thus, I would believe that only very few proof Halfpennies for 1952 were produced, most probably less than 100 examples. I stand to be corrected re numbers produced. Report this Post to the Staff
Dollar 1935 Valued Member Canada 321 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 09:25 am I dont have the coin in hand yet but I assume those are toning stripes due to the coin staying in the proof case. Ive yet to find a good source of information for the 1952 proof but Ive seen only one halfpenny in proof conditions. Due to the famous and unique 1952 proof penny,I don't even think they were issued in a set, I wouldnt be surprised if the total mintage was under 10 pieces... 1952 proof halfpenny from S-A however, are quite common with a mintage of 12,000.

You are right, if someone "bought the holder" you could reap a nice profit.
