wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 11/16/2008 12:39 am looks like the old effigy. The colon on the obverse after IMP at the six o'clock position is closer together on the old effigy. Also the denticles are more pronounced on the modified.

NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 11/17/2008 10:41 pm I've just looked this one up, the modified effigy has no stops and the BM (not B.M.) appears well to the right of the base of the bust. I like wwhitman's explanation of the difference, as the BM may not be distinguisable on lower grade coins but the denticles and colon stops give it away.

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 11/18/2008 08:45 am yup, you're right. It is a real nice half penny. Should have said that up front. I too like old coppers. Report this Post to the Staff
