Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 07/02/2020 11:57 pm The coin is in better-than-average condition, with "honest wear" and minimal corrosion; it would probably be worth a couple of pounds - if it were not for that nasty damage to the rim at the top. I think that damage makes this coin drop in value from "a few pounds" to "a few pence". Such a shame. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 03:21 am I agree on the above - the only extra thought is I believe this is the "missing rocks" sub variety. There should be a clump of rocks to the left of the lighthouse, which appears to be absent. This sub variety has only recently been recognised, but does not seem unduly rare - maybe 1 in 10 of the 1862 7+G halfpennies show it. Report this Post to the Staff
