Half Penny

Going through some of my pocket change left over from my last trip to Great Britain, I came across this half penny from 1935. Very cool, I think. It was one of my favorites. No! It was my absolute favorite coin as a boy growing up in East Anglia, especially after I discovered one buried in my parent's front yard. Treasure!

I'm not sure how I came to have this one. It may be somewhat like the Canadian pennies you occasionally come across here in the United States. Not legal tender. But, hey! What are you going to buy for a penny, much less a half penny, anyway? :-)

    1. Not worth a lot. They were minted in great quantities and, too, this one is in very poor condition. Still, I've seen estimates of its value set as low as .50 cents here in the States to as much as a couple of dollars or more.

  2. If you haven’t got a penny, a ha-Penny will do. If you haven’t got a ha-penny, God bless you.
