This coin is the first one and the worn one I have is the rare 2nd one! That is one very nice halfcrown. As you say, there is good detail in the conjoined portrait, the coin itself is exquisite. Definitely a good Fine. I was looking at the same coin on Downies a few nights ago, and it was in almost the same condition as yours, the other had ever so slightly less wear on the crown, but yours has more detail in the portrait and obverse legend. You've done well, a canny buy. The same year as James was peddling his gun money up north.The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Thanks, and yes I wish Jimmy had peddled his gun money my way.
I would give some freshly extracted wisdom teeth for a halfcrown!!
I have a James II halfcrown from 1687 at least though, when he could still issue them in silver rather than melted gun and muck metal!

An upgrade 1916 Florin, much better than my original.  And finally had these two key date threepences arrive.  1946 and 1949   The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

1862 Three Halfpence. Obverse a bit dinged up. Probably should've passed on purchase. Seller's pics not clear. $13.   Edited by otto

Yes, I agree. I hope I look that good at 140 yrs old.
It's a very nice coin.
