Æðeling's 1971 Halfpenny







OR


Æðeling's 1971 Twopence?

The two pence - I lurve the plumes.

Halfpenny for me. There's not much between them, but we must have been one of the last countries in the western world to have had an half of the minor denomination. The US gave up with half cents way back.

So because it's an amusing denomination i go with the half.

1971 Twopence

Twopence for me. It's worth more!

2p

the halfpenny, because it's so cute. i used to carry one in my coin purse and i can't find it anymore

1971 Twopence - just like it better

The ½ penny. I like the reverse better.

As a hammered collector - Pass!

The twopence wins.

Half penny. Just because it is a different denomination.
