BRaj New Member Poland 46 Posts	Posted 02/18/2020 11:12 am Today I present interesting coin. 1/2 anna 1862 Calcutta mint Flat 1. In NGC registry are two variations of 1/2 annas flat 1 (Reverse II) 1) 1/2 anna 1862 Rev II, Bust B (4 panels in Victoria drees) 2) proof 1/2 anna 1862 Rev II Bust C (4.5-4.75 panels) Last time I found one, but I dont understand it is not proof ;) (Good/Fine grade I think), maybe it has Bust A with 4,25-4,5 panels and this variety is not discribe by NGC? What do You think? Greetings! Robert Edited by BRaj 02/18/2020 4:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

First you obviously have an interest in the BI series...Here's a link to a thread I ran a while back that you might find interesting in the future and hopefully helpful?..http://goccf.com/t/330350&whichpage=5 ..... The OP coin seems to be...Bust type A (4 1/2 jabots) / Reverse type II (wide legend, flat top 1) and as you've rightly stated this combination as far as I know is not referenced as a circulated coin!?.... Give me some time and I'll see what I can dig up...Nice conundrum....Thanks for sharing...Paul Edited by Palouche 02/18/2020 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BRaj New Member Poland 46 Posts	Posted 02/19/2020 02:42 am Thank You Paul! Yes I think it will be helpfully, especially thank you for for sharing variations of design Victoria dress - Good work! I am collecting copper fractiins of BI several years and I like all the time to find new variations :) I search several numismatic auction sites and find 1 more such coin - and it have design of dress from A bust, from some traces from design line on my coin I can supposed that it also design A not C. Now I am looking at NGC site and I think they have mistake. I am never even hear about 1/2 anna 1862 (C) flat 1/Bust C - this is exist? - but NGC say it has mintage 7.399 mln. And 1/2 anna flat 1/ Bust B they attributed only to proof - and I saw about dozen this coins not proof (mine is in poor state unfortunatelly ;)) Report this Post to the Staff
