I'd like to think that this is Unc. Your opinions on grade & value appreciated.

Trident is sharp and pronounced, while the shield looks a little (worn?) Still nice, all around.

I don't have enough experience with English halfpennies to call it Unc for sure, but has an MS-63 Brown look. Nice coin!

But definitely not Unc by British standards, due to discolouration on the high points. I'd call it AU.

Interestingly the discolouration only shows on the scan, and not in hand. I'll try breaking out the camera, see if there's any difference.

Very nice coin! It's an Unc/AU in my opinion. I notice a few marks on the pole of the trident, are they small cuts? There is also a different color tone around the "S" in Edwardvs.
