Kipster Valued Member United Kingdom 96 Posts	Posted 05/24/2022 09:52 am Afternoon all, This one just popped through my letterbox. Quite pleased with it. What would you consider it's grade to be? I'd say gVF, perhaps aEF maybe, at a push?. Also, under closer examination, the outline of Victoria's face can be seen starting at the point of Britannia's left knee. Is this usual? Thanks for any suggestions. Report this Post to the Staff

Princetane Pillar of the Community New Zealand 4129 Posts	Posted 05/24/2022 2:44 pm And full English EF too. The ghosting of her majesty on Britannias knee was overstriking by the dies, the penny afterall was quite thin! The 1870s was a time when knew and stronger machines were introduced and many of the coins of this era were experimental. This overpunching was probably not serious enough. Great coin! I love COINS!!! Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 05/24/2022 2:46 pm Yeah, the reverse seems to be a solid AU judging by no wear on her fingers but the obverse is a little more worn on the hair so I'd say EF on it, but overall a very nice example of a common date halfpenny.

Interesting little quirk. Quote: but the obverse is a little more worn on the hair Indeed, after a closer examination in hand it lacks definition. Much obliged to you. Report this Post to the Staff

When you collect these by date, you realise how difficult to find Bun Halfpennies are in this sort of condition. Lovely coin!

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2055 Posts	Posted 05/25/2022 07:01 am Nice coin - looks like a 14+J2/Freeman 332 I think. Coin Curiosity - Coins of the British Commonwealth \| My British Bronze Halfpenny, Farthing & Third-Farthing Book Report this Post to the Staff
Kipster Valued Member United Kingdom 96 Posts	Posted 05/25/2022 08:33 am Quote: Nice coin - looks like a 14+J2/Freeman 332 I think. Interesting. I use Spink as guide, but see the Freeman being used as a yardstick more frequently. Which book is this relating to please? Is it 'The Bronze coinage of Great Britain'? Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2055 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 03:31 am Yes that's the one - there was a reprint in 2016 which is the most recent version. I don't think Spink goes into as much detail (though I don't have a Spink so I don't know for sure).

Got this book yesterday. Shame the images are all in black and white, but for reference purposes it looks quite good. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
