You don't often see these this close to EF. It's a very attractive coin in the hand. What's not to like?
There are plenty of these about, so you can afford to wait till a nice one comes along. I think this is a really nice one.
Much more detail on this example than most you'll see, particularly in the King's hair. I am really starting to enjoy exploring Early Milled. I suggest you join me!
Issued for Malta as their "grano" was 3 to a farthing. Cracking little coins.
Inverted Vs for As in GRATIA. This series is full of fascinating little varieties like this. I didn't just make this one up - it is documented in Chris Perkins' Collectors Coins GB
WW not obliterated. "One tenth of a pound". This coin was the first step towards decimalisation. It only took another 122 years. This one has had a bit of a buff, but probably a long time ago, and it has recovered well. It's a very attractive coin.
Initially recognised by Ernest Bramah, in his 1929 publication "A guide to the varieties and rarity of English regal copper coins: Charles II-Victoria, 1671-1860". Bramah catalogued the variety as No. 25c, and described it as Rare. The distinguishing features of this die are the shallow feature to the right of the join between the two loops of the 8 and the little tooth within the lower loop.
If you are looking at coins at this level then I don't have to tell you that the vast majority of 1862 halfpennies that you see are in a much worse state than this one.
Halfpennies are just as interesting as Bun Pennies as far as varieties are concerned. There's only two 1863s, but at least 15 types of 1861, for instance. They haven't gone crazy yet, like Bun Pennies have, but they should, and they might. This one is R10 in Freeman
Yes, it's seen a little circulation, but it is an 1891, after all. Mintage: only 836,438. R2 in ESC
