New 1871 Half Penny

[RLC35 288]

I just received a new 1871 Half Penny...not real good pic's as they are taken through a slab. Coin is much better than the pic's show. PCGS has it slabbed as AU55 (Choice AU on the Shelton scale).

With a mintage of just over a million, and a Freeman rarity of 13, that's a really neat purchase, Bob

Are you keeping it in the slab ?

1949...I am going to keep it slabbed for the time being, although I don't like slabs for the most part.
