Penny 1d silver Victoria high grade George V bronze 1/- copper Shilling Sixpence Elizabeth II Half Farthing Veiled Head Halfcrown Edward VII 6d 2/6 Gouby 1954 William IV 1897 1834 1930 Bun Head rare UNC 1910 1900 lustre
Rather a gorgeous coin in the hand, this one. Lovely classy little coin.
Lovely mature lustre and very little wear to speak of. Top quality material I think you'll agree.
Like the 1844, 1843 Half farthings are very common in mediocre grades. This is not a mediocre grade. Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long. Even in 1843 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound!
Just the faintest trace of wear on the high points of the obverse, and even less on the reverse.
An attractive high grade coin, with dark toning. Scarce date in ESC.

As I'm sure you know, easily 90% of these are dated 1843 or 1844, unlike this one... Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long. Even in 1842 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound!
Starting to tone somewhat, but it's a high grade coin with underlying lustre.
My closeup didn't work as well as I'd hoped, but after much careful examination I have determined that this is the 5 over normal "squat" 3 as described in Satin.
This is quite an exciting find. Although the images don't show the tide level well, you can see it in the flesh, and there are plenty of other indicators to distinguish between this Reverse C and the much commoner Reverse B: shield closer to border neck & head longer and thinner helmet plumes extend further out from the head shorter trident prongs different letter alignment & spacing
