1923 Halfpenny Appraisal

Actually, Minky uploaded the pics.

I hope you don't mind, but I changed it so that the images would show up right in the post rather than clicking on a link. I find it makes it easier for grading and stuff like that. If you want to see how I did it, just click on the edit icon and take a look at the text.

Thank you Susan for your help and what a great help that info on your site is gnome..probably will get professional appraisal before purchase but like you said it is good fun trying to decide if it is or isn't first

looks like a nice piece to me but would like a better view of the crown or even a bigger image. Looks around the fine grade and would retail for around the $2500 mark. If you like you can email me to talk to me about it. If you live in Aussie land even give me a ring.

Minky, I would advise you to not part with any of the hard-earned until you've been able to have a close look at the coin in person. The image isn't as clear as we'd like but I have two points of concern:

1) The shape of the base of the 2 appears different from that of a 1923 (need a better picture though!)

2) The left hand side of the 2 appears to start just after a rim denticle. On a genuine 1923 it starts just before a denticle. Again need a better scan to be absolutley certain.

OK Guys..probably will be talking to same people as on the Aussie coin site but anyway I now have in the flesh this coin and its friend another 1923 halfpenny AF-F...I have not purchased either yet before having appraised so any suggestions as to where to take them in aussie Hunter Valley to Sydney area...am itching to know thanks..cheers....
