1842 FOURPENCE HOLED ( GVF )

$80.00

Up for sale is an 1842 Queen Victoria Sterling Silver Fourpence (Groat), showing high-grade Good Very Fine (GVF) details but featuring a historic contemporary hole. Struck at the London Mint, the obverse features William Wyon’s iconic "Young Head" portrait of the Queen with exceptionally crisp hair details, ribbons, and strong legends. The reverse displays a sharply defined seated Britannia holding her trident. This coin has been holed—likely during the 19th century to be worn as a lucky pocket charm or pendant piece. Despite the piercing, the coin boasts superb remaining detail, clear rims, and a wonderful natural tone. A perfect, budget-friendly space-filler for a Victorian date run or a unique piece of historical jewelry.
