Victoria silver Penny 1d high grade bronze Sixpence 6d George V Bun Head Scarce copper 1887 Freeman lovely grade Halfpenny ¼d lustrous ½d Shilling Farthing aUNC George III 1/- Rare Gouby 4d William IV 1874 1858
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.
Scarce. There is no trickier date than 1938 in this series.
As well as an unusually good strike for a 1919, the lustre is attractive too.
As well as the well-known positioning of BM on the truncation, the other easy way to spot the Modified Head on 1926 silver is to look at the border teeth. Much longer on the the ME type.
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.
Normally these are around the gFine level, but this one is a solid VF, and it's the best I've had. 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.
Yes it's the commonest of the four die combinations of 1913 Penny. It really is a corker though.
Another top grade George V penny. Quite a beauty, I think you'll agree.
