Victoria silver bronze Penny high grade 1d George V Sixpence 6d Bun Head copper 1887 Halfpenny ¼d lovely grade ½d Farthing Scarce lustrous Shilling aUNC decent grade Gouby 1886 Freeman 1858 variety 1853 1/- Bramah
In my experience, high grade halfpennies are harder to come by than pennies from this era. More difficult than most other denominations, I'd say.
Top grade coin. The ha'penny was very much the staple of the currency - they weren't hoarded like bright pennies, and everybody used them, day in, day out, rich and poor alike. So in many cases, it's harder to find a top whack halfpenny than a Penny from the same era.
As well as an unusually good strike for a 1919, the lustre is attractive too.
How often do you get to see the dots between B and M on the truncation? Compare this with yours - 1920 halfcrowns are not easy, with a slightly dodgy alloy and often weakly struck. Obv 1, Rev A. Scarce
Even with standards as high as mine, some dates you have to compromise on. Otherwise you'll be looking at a gap for a long time, and we collectors can't abide gaps. The compromise on this one is the little edge knock on the obverse.
Narrow rim low relief larger bust hollow neck Know your varieties yet? If not, why not? There's 5 of them for 1921 shillings...
Really nice gentle lustre showing through under the natural toning. Made it a very difficult coin to photograph accurately, though.
Strictly speaking, it's a die flaw, rather than a bona fide variety but once these things are in the reference books, they become a must-have for the completist.
