My last really nice half crown before the 17th century (And I mean 1600s, I am not one of these simple Simon people who thinks 1799 is 17th century  )  UK Halfcrown 1893, first year of the "Old Head" coinage for silver and gold denominations (Bronze would have to wait 2 more years). This coin is VF to gVF, however PaddyB has a virtually uncirculated one in the British coins thread.

My second 1893 has a lot less wow factor than my first, but is another of my "realproliteriat" coins.  It is the humble halfpenny which could buy a cheap newspaper or even a whole apple or you could flip the pieman for. This was where you bet the pieman heads or tails, and if you won - you got the pie and to keep the ha'penny - but if you lost - you had to hand over a whole penny if you wanted the pie. It is not known if they had "Best of 3"
