Comments

In The Standard Catalog of World Coins, Krause states the mintages for both the half penny and penny for 1870 and 1871 as 160,000. Unfortunately, Krause used 12 pence to the shilling instead of the correct 13 pence to the shilling to compute their numbers. Pridmore, Marshall-Fraser, and McCammon all agree that the correct number should be 173,333.
