How much is a Australian Half Penny 1943 worth?
Greetings, I am a professional coin dealer and I can tell you it depends upon a few things. 1) Grade – grade determines value. 2) The market – in a price guide it might say it is worth $_ but you need to have a willing buyer and with venues like eBay, in most circulated grades, bidders will only pay a fraction of it’s “book value” but if it is BU (Bright and Uncirculated) it may command a premium over it’s book value, especially if you are graced with a couple crazy determined bidders. Here is a non-commercial site that may be of some help grading your coin: http://www.triton.vg/grading.html#Standa… Now the short answer you want. According to KM: A 1943M (Melbourne Mint) Fine=$0.15 Very Fine=$0.25 Extra Fine=$1.25 UNC=$10.00 A 1943B (Bombay Mint – struck in India) Fine=$0.20 VF=$0.35 EF=$2.00 UNC=$17.50 There were also some Proof issues, proof coins will have such mirror-like fields you can practically comb you hai
