You don't often see these this close to EF. It's a very attractive coin in the hand. What's not to like?
A significantly better example than most you'll see, and you don't see that many. Peck: Very Scarce, Freeman: R5
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.
Common in low grades, quite rewarding in middle grades, but by the time you get to this level with these, they are serious coins. Take them seriously
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
Difficult date, and a more than decent grade, but I am not sure about the colour. There are none of the signs of abrasive cleaning, but the colour does suggest that something may have done to this one, probably a long time ago... Peck: Scarce Freeman: R5
No serifs to the I of BRIT The variety is recognised by Ernest Bramah, whose 1929 publication "A guide to the varieties and rarity of English regal copper coins: Charles II-Victoria, 1671-1860" was heavily referenced by Peck. Bramah catalogues it as No 26a, and describes it as Rare.
Good strong coin with a mature lustre, so if you don't have a high grade example yet, have a good look
Uncirculated. Beautiful example. Coins at this level really are things of beauty
Slightly weak obverse strike, as is common on the pennies in this era, but this is quite a difficult date to obtain in anything over standard circulated grades. Check out some others first
