lisaa New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/30/2006 7:43 pm I'm sorry, I posted this topic in the wrong area to begin with. I just joined, so I still need to familiarize myself. Thank you for understanding. Hi, I have an 1862 Great Britain Half Penny. I have searched the web to get info on this coin, but I have come up empty. This coin is in excellent condition. On the front it says VICTORIA:D:G: BRITT:REG:F:D: On the back it very clearly says HALF PENNY 1862. Their is a woman's bust on the front and what appears to be a man sitting holding a staff and shield on the back. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Lisa Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 06/30/2006 9:07 pm British 1862 halfpennies are fairly common, though there are a couple of scarcer varieties listed in Krause for that date. The commonest variety catalogues for a few dollars in typical circulated grades, though a particularly well-preserved specimen can be worth more than that. The figure seated on the reverse is Britannia, and she's female. If you're after more info on the Web, try a Google or ebay search for either "British halfpennies" or "British half pennies". 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

I can log on in the morning. I normally log on in the late afternoon/evening local time, which is early in the morning New York (forum) time. In case some have missed it, there's a parallel thread on this coin here.
