1967 UK Half Penny proof ?

Posté le : 29-03-2012, 10h16

 

I have these two half pennies that look like proofs, but i'm unsure as they are not reported to exist.
let me know what you think, I have taken scan to include an uncirculated half penny.

I have a 50 euro cent coin that looks very much like a proof, but it's hard to guess if it's only unc or proof.

My 36th edition Krause states that the UK KM#896 1967 Proof is "Reported, not confirmed" and I am no grading professional but, IMHO, I don't see anything in the two top coins, other than their colouring, to differentiate them from the UNC below.

All uncirculated 1967 halfpennies were matte.

I think someone cleaned the coins to make them proof-like, but they're certainly not proofs.

  Maybe also something to add to Numisdoc - a definition of coin terms.
