Elizabeth II Certified 1/2 Penny and Penny Proof Set 1955, 1) 1/2 Penny - PR61 Red PCGS, KM492) Penny - PR62 Red PCGS, KM56Perth mint, KM-PS17. Mintage: 301 sets. A widely sought pair by specialists of the series, with the total mintage of only 301 sets that all but assures great scarcity on the market. While the PCGS-assigned grades suggest that these pieces have been significantly handled over the years, the eye-appeal remains quite strong on both, with rose hues on the halfpenny and more orange coloration on the penny. Both remain glossy throughout, while the customary lines, many that must have come at the mint, do sweep across the surfaces, albeit in a subtle fashion. As is always the case when these Perth-mint sets become available, an exciting opportunity for the collector!
Estimate: 4000-7000 USD
