Hi, new to this but I thought this small collection may be of interest. Lord's Prayer coin, 1844 half farthing, J H Stokes tea and coffee roaster, Thistle inn Coventry, Coventry half penny and Prince of Wales model half sovereign. Collected by my dad many years ago.

@silk23, the coventry half penny has been on my want list for some time. I see that you have shown the "decent" side of that item.

The half pennies of 1799, 1806 and 1807 are all rather common unfortunately. Yours is a very nice example and worth hanging on to. The Model halfpenny is one of a number produced by Moore in 1844. I have a couple of pages copied from some reference which gives this Copper and Brass version a "Bruce" number X8a. The page gives 5 different versions of this design, often with a white metal or silver centre. They are collected, but not with a huge market...

@PaddyB.I wouldn't sell them as they were my dads. I know he didn't spend a lot of money on his hobby as he bought coins he thought interesting or unusual. Once you get past the worth of a coin, the history is really the important bit. I've learnt more about Kings and Queens than I thought I would. Appreciate you taking time to reply with the info. At the risk of boring everyone i'll Post some more coins in future weeks. Not rare but collected with care....
