Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2887 Posts	Posted 03/31/2011 1:51 pm There can't be any question that it isn't 1826 as it's very definitely the portrait of George IV - alganbagerap got it spot on. It must be a half penny. Probaby no need to increase your insurance premiums just yet - lets hope you have lots of enjoyment sorting through your family collection though.
