Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 5:22 pm I love this EF, right up my street, and a coin I've seen before so interesting to discover who owns it. You're correct, nicer than the example in the Nicholson collection too! Speaking of 'better than the Nicholson example' I have something which I think you'll definitely like. I'll post it tomorrow...

aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 6:20 pm A very nice example!! Tony Clayton,on his site "Coins of the UK", shows an example of 1673 halfpenny but without the 'B' of Britannia over-writing a 'C'. Plus a little history of the copper halfpenny. http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/halfp.html#copper Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 09/24/2016 09:31 am Hi Aiglet7, If you're interested to know more about the fascinating world of early milled copper and all the varieties which have been discovered over the years then the archives at Colin Cooke's site are an invaluable resource. For halfpennies see the Dr. Nicholson collection: http://www.colincooke.com/collectio...lection.html For farthings Mr. Cooke's own collection: http://www.colincooke.com/collectio...ontpage.html Hours of fun to be had. The Winter evenings will fly by.. ;-) Report this Post to the Staff

coppers New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/24/2016 1:58 pm Hogarth...I still remember the Nicholson sale. Wish I had bid on a few more coins. As you have an interest in British milled copper, you may want to check out the predecimal coin forum at http://www.predecimal.com Report this Post to the Staff
