Appears uncirculated to me along with some die clash on the obverse. Let me know what you think, it's living in a 2x2 atm. Report this Post to the Staff

LukeFisher93 New Member Australia 40 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 05:36 am I'll try and get some more pictures when I'm home. I'll need to take it out of the 2x2 Report this Post to the Staff
UKPennyHunter Valued Member Spain 239 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 06:07 am For sure, and if you don't already have spare flips to put it back in after you can pick them up pretty cheap on ebay! Report this Post to the Staff

UKPennyHunter Valued Member Spain 239 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 08:28 am Well aside from the patina (which wont affect the grade) I think it's a strong VF, possibly NEF. Do you think it's been cleaned in the past? It looks like it might but pictures are always deceptive and I think it's just the light giving that effect maybe. Here's a pic with both side by side, and the right way up haha. Report this Post to the Staff

UKPennyHunter Valued Member Spain 239 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 08:48 am Yeah difficult with the light, but my grade still stands. For instance have a look at this site that I did a quick google for, it shows an example of what they would describe as GVF.. http://www.australiancoinsandnotes....ine-hp00622/ Report this Post to the Staff
stevo1962 Pillar of the Community Australia 908 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 09:00 am Probably VF and there is something going on with the reverse and the obverse to a lesser degree such as a previous clean or some sort of staining Report this Post to the Staff
LukeFisher93 New Member Australia 40 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 09:09 am @stevo. I think it's the lighting. From above looking normally it's a nice darkish chocolate brown. Report this Post to the Staff
echidna Pillar of the Community Australia 599 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 10:08 am 1930 halfpennies are generally found in better grade & not too hard to find with 8 pearls. Based on the pics it looks gVF and is a nice collectable coin. Nothing special though. Watch your top knot Report this Post to the Staff
