<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinman1234, post: 2103974, member: 51208&quot;]Very rare coin, very cool that you have one. When I read the title I was thinking it was about some common 1970&#039;s irish halfpenny that is only worth a couple cents of so but after researching it I was amazed to find out how rare it is. $2000 is around what it may be worth.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>&quot;The 1985 halfpenny was produced in circulation quantities but many of these did not get to circulation and were returned to the Central Bank and melted when the coin was demonetised in 1987.&nbsp; But some coins did escape&nbsp; and fortunately some of these were used to make up private souvenier sets of the coinage so the coins are not as scarce as was though some years ago and&nbsp; they are available in bright uncirculated condition.&quot; Cited from <a href="http://www.irishcoinage.com/DECCAT.HTM" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.irishcoinage.com/DECCAT.HTM" rel="nofollow">http://www.irishcoinage.com/DECCAT.HTM</a></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
