Someone whacked the coin, it's a huge shame for a 1861 Half Penny from the UK (Queen Victoria)

I have a 1967 Large Penny from the UK, & it's HUGE! But I've not seen it for a couple of months & I don't know where it went . . .

Many pennies from the British Commonwealth countries were large like your 1867. Down in Oz they had cool looking large pennies with a kangaroo on the REV (inexpensive in circulated condition!). Look in the foreign coin boxes at your local dealer or at shows.
