1960 Y. Halfpenny Variety Over-Stamp Metal Peel in Extremely Fine Condition
This 1960 Australian Y Halfpenny is a standout variety coin. It is offered in Extremely Fine (EF) condition. It also shows a clear mint-made flaw. It has an over-stamp metal peel starting at the rim on the reverse. It then runs through the center of the design. It crosses the kangaroo’s leg and continues into the main body. These peels are usually due to planchet flaws or striking problems. They can be a great talking point in an Australian pre-decimal collection.
