2038 Halfcrown 1871 VG. Officially none of this date were
ever struck. Halfcrowns dated between 1850 to 1874 are
believed to be counterfeits. These are of good metal,
therefore possibly made from melted-down silverware for
the purpose of laundering stolen goods. Historically there
has been some confusion in the numismatic world as to
whether they may be genuine and 'struck for colonial
use'. For discussion of this matter we reference the
