Rare 1842 Province of Canada Half Penny PCGS Certified Choice Uncirculated, Mint State 64

Prior to Canadian confederation in 1867, low denomination coinage for the Province of Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) was a combination of official, semi-official and merchant-issued copper coins and tokens. This semi-official half penny coin was issued in 1842 by the Bank of Montreal with government authorization and with full weight for the denomination, making it one of the most widely accepted coins in commerce. Most coins of this type were widely circulated and most surviving coins are well worn lower grades. This is a rare, high grade Choice Uncirculated example, independently graded and certified by PCGS as Mint State 64, with a brown colour from oxidation. Please note, this is a single item.
