Nice strong strike and a beautiful texture to this coin. ESC doesn't distinguish between Obv 3 and Obv 4, but Davies does, and rates Obv 4 as slightly scarcer. Scarce date in ESC regardless.
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.
A very attractive little coin. Obverse 1, if you like your microvarieties. I know I do.
I spent a good ten minutes exploring this one with a loupe, trying to find some evidence of wear, but I really struggled. Each leaf vein is still sharp, the hairlines go right to the end of each curl, but it does have slight discolouration that, if anything, the photo exaggerates.
It's starting to tone a little, although the photo hasn't quite captured the toning. The photo has captured the quality though.
Nice strong strike and extremely well preserved. Doesn't the Victorian series seem vast sometimes? Scarce date, by the way...
A lovely example of a tiny but fascinating series. Part of another attempt at decimalisation, the denomination still exists, of course - it's the 20p! Doesn't that make you think, when a magnificent piece like this is reduced to that.
A slightly weak strike as you usually find on these, but there's lovely lustre and barely any real wear to speak of. Check yours...time for an upgrade?

Issued for Malta as their "grano" was 3 to a farthing. Allow me to demonstrate the elegance of predecimal maths: there's 3 of these to a farthing, so 12 to a penny. Thus, there's 144 to a shilling, and 2,880 to the pound. 288,000 were minted = £100
