There are no halfpence of Queen Anne.
It is stressed that the following prices are a guide only, and in UK pounds. I can take no personal responsibility for their accuracy, although every effort has been made to ensure that they have been copied correctly.
The information has generally been taken from the UK monthly magazine Coin News, and is reproduced by the kind permission of
Token Publishing Ltd, PO Box 14, Honiton, Devon EX14 9YP, UK
The headings F, VF, EF and Unc refer to the condition grades of the coins. A guide to evaluating grades is found on my UK Coin Values Index page.
Proof coins relatively often found are listed, but the absence of a mention does not mean that a proof of that year does not exist.
Many of the issues of halfpence show varieties such as legend errors, a lack of stops, or overdates. Only some of the more important are listed. Values for most errors are only slightly above those for normal coins.
No values of these coins are available

The lack of a value for a grade means either that the coin is rarely found in that grade or that its value is less than £1.
