sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 8:58 pm Both very nice coins, and both much better than mine. There seems to be a bit of old impact damage in the area of 'BRIT' on the halfpenny, but it has clean rims. Grades? EF, both sides, for the sixpence and the halfpenny, the halfpenny perhaps grades a little better than the sixpence. Report this Post to the Staff
