1793 Half Penny, Lady Godiva -Real, Variety, Error?

Nice Conder! Probably get better response in the U.K. forums...


edit: spllng

This one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HALFPENNY...047675.l2557 made £46 (US$77) so I'd say Peter's estimate ($50ish) is about right.

However I for one would not bid on anything if I couldn't see a good quality photograph of both sides. The other could be flat for all you know.

I wouldnt pay more than £5 for it, but I have patience on my side and I've seen hundreds sell. An uncirculated Conder token, with red, can be had for less than £30 - a bit more for these, people really go for Elephants. I would say this would be a £20 coin.

These are so common that no-one would bother faking them. I have one that was completed uncirculated, light brown tone, but it seems that someone propped up a sofa with it in the past and scraped off most of the design. I own two, the scraped one cost £2.38 and the other, which is considerably worn, cost £2.49.

Someone having written 'Rare, very rare', on a flip doesn't make it so. The price is silly.
These are available, in better grades than the one in the photograph, for the sort of prices being suggested by contributors here.
