Whilst Spinking I note that the only way of telling most Ed 4 halfpennies apart from the Ed 5 halfpenny is via the mintmark. The mm is, obviously, variable amongst the Ed 4s but can only be the half sun and rose for Ed 5. Now, as mine has the mm chunk removed (not my doing! Honest!) can it be definitely stated that it's not an Ed 5, or are there other ways of checking...?
