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.
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.
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.
Scarce. There is no trickier date than 1938 in this series.
I have found myself building up quite a sub-specialisation in 1858 pennies, by Gouby number. At last count nine different types had passed through my hands - all 1858, all different date types and overdates. Micro-collecting at its best!
As well as an unusually good strike for a 1919, the lustre is attractive too.
All halfcrowns are pretty fantastic coins, but this design appeals to me in particular. This is not a grade you'll see that often. Serious stuff.
Yes it's the commonest of the four die combinations of 1913 Penny. It really is a corker though.
If you're a date run collector, like me, you'll have noticed that certain dates, for no apparent reason, give you more trouble than others. This seems to be one of those dates. They often have this streaky lustre, which makes them ever so difficult to photograph well, apart from anything else!
I have all sorts of fun collecting Victorian silver by Davies number. There's so much more to find than just doing straight date runs. Seven different types for 1887, for starters.
