Junkbox find. Worth anything in this condition?

This is the common High-Tide variety. Worth copper scrap value only in this condition, unfortunately.

It is a Bronze coin so it would not be bought at scrap copper price.
It is worth what you paid for it.
You liked it enough to buy it so it is a great coin.

I know this is counter intuitive but condition is not always the most important thing.
Sometimes the ability to get older coins at affordable prices is all a collector needs.

The joy and fun of collecting is far more precious than monetary value to a true collector.

I am happy with the purchase. This is better condition than I usually see for Edward VII halfpennies in the junkbox.

As I was reviewing my purchases, I went to NGC and hit the first option under 1902 halfpenny. Often when there are 2 choices for a single date, there is the business strike and the proof strike. Well, the first listed was the low tide. I thought that price applied to all 1902 halfpennies. When I got home, I went to coins of the UK and saw the distinction, and realized my mistake.
