1858/6 UK Half Penny Copper Coin – Queen Victoria
Original British copper Half Penny struck during the reign of Queen Victoria featuring the desirable 1858 over 1856 overdate variety.
Grade: AU-XF (About Uncirculated to Extremely Fine)
A very attractive example with strong portrait detail, sharp Britannia reverse, and light circulation wear. The overdate feature remains visible, making this a desirable collector's piece.
Victorian Half Pennies were widely used throughout Britain and the British Empire. Overdate varieties such as the 1858/6 issue resulted from modifications to dies and are significantly more collectible than standard date examples.
An excellent addition to collections of British coins, Victorian copper issues, overdate varieties, and world numismatics.
