Lenikas Valued Member United Kingdom 164 Posts	Posted 04/24/2012 02:37 am the most beautiful early milled coin that I have. I'm not very good on grading these coins, so could you help me with this. major worn is only olives leaves, probably the highest spots. I'm thinking VF at least.. Report this Post to the Staff

Lenikas Valued Member United Kingdom 164 Posts	Posted 04/24/2012 4:30 pm Thank you, I like this coin too. Even with this wear on olive leaves it is can be graded extra fine? Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 04/24/2012 4:38 pm It is a very good looking coin! One thing to check for with 1738 halfpennies is the V over S variety. Apparently they originally misspelled the name as GEORGIS. From here I don't see any evidence of it on your coin but you could take a closer look. Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 04/24/2012 4:45 pm I'd give it a VF. Good looking coin for one that old. Report this Post to the Staff
Lenikas Valued Member United Kingdom 164 Posts	Posted 04/26/2012 12:38 pm Here are some better pictures and one with the kings name, I can't see any S on V. looks like a standart coin. How much it could be worth ? something like 80-100 GPB ? Thank you in advance Edited by Lenikas 04/26/2012 12:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 04/26/2012 6:38 pm http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/halfp.html VF is listed at 80GBP and EF at 340. Report this Post to the Staff
Lenikas Valued Member United Kingdom 164 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 11:04 am yeah, but in my opinion this coin is better than VF.. Report this Post to the Staff
Terry-T Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 5:29 pm Looks like there is a die clash mark between Britannia's head and the spear, and a vague letter impression in the NIA. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/29/2012 05:41 am This coin is in superior condition than most Geroge 11 halfpennies, and this one has an excellent patina. There is a little too much obvious wear on the high areas of the design to warrant an EF grade. There is wear on the garland above the King's ear on the obverse, and on Britainia's knees, left breast and on the shield, reverse. VF would be the correct grade for this coin. I have an example of a George 11 halfpenny also, but mine would only rate G or VG, a grade at which these coins are most commonly found. Report this Post to the Staff
