I agree that today has brought some great coins! Here is a Portuguese 10 Reis:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Another 1723 British Shilling. First bust (roses & plumes) pierced.  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Posting my second-oldest coin from the North American Colonies today: a Rosa Americana Penny that I bought off of a CCF member about ten years ago:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Looking at Numista - your coin, Spence, the obverse does not match any of the examples shown (the dot after REX is not on your coin, for the ½ penny. ) it does not match for the 1 penny or 2 pence either..  do you have any history on this one? or is this one a variant? |

or is this one a variant? Yep it is attributed as Martin 3.1-D.6 and W-1272. Not sure why it isn't in numista as it isn't excessively rare. Here is a link to the four listed on acsearch. As noted by @t360, it isn't too surprising that three are detailed for their surface texture and the fourth is detailed for smoothing. https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...=usd&order=0"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
