Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 06/24/2010 06:01 am Going through some old coins I came across this George II halfpenny that I did not know that I had. Is it worth anything in this condition? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 06/24/2010 07:59 am Pretty worn it is, however it is around a couple of dollars to an Era collector. They're very very scarce in higher grades and relatively common in such. My Seaby's catalog gives $2,50 in G/F condition. It is the last copper Halfpenny struck under the reign of George II.

argentumandcoins Valued Member United Kingdom 60 Posts	Posted 06/24/2010 3:34 pm Looks more like a Farthing to me. Are you sure it's a Halfpenny. Diameters are approx 28mm and 22mm respectively. John. Report this Post to the Staff
Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 06/24/2010 5:50 pm Diameter is 22 mm. Does this make it a farthing then. Later farthings are much smaller 18mm Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/24/2010 6:12 pm Good catch, argentumandcoins! It is absolutely a farthing. By the way they minted farthings for several years after 1754 with this frozen date. Report this Post to the Staff
