      I'm still finding interesting Empire coinage as I sift through..... these I had but not ventured near in over 35 years, now I have a page that covers different monarchs, dates and country's.... I do like the colonial use coins as well,  👍

      1886 silver halfpenny

      By oldcopper · Posted

      The point about the gilts was of course that a surface layer need not be removed by scratching, nothing to do with identification of the variety. The silvered 1841 colon currency penny in the latest Spink auction, initially wrongly described as the silver proof, was heavily marked and worn but with the coating fully intact. In that case though the silvering was probably applied to an already worn and marked coin, unlike with Soho gilts where any markings, scratches etc would happen to the already gilded coin. The halfpenny is nowhere near worn enough to cancel out the circa 15% increase in weight that would be observed in a sterling silver analogue of similar dimensions. So the weight would be useful to know.

      I only have one these days. 20 years ago I bought a whole collection of Indian silver including several dozen assorted Rupees, but sadly I sold them all. This is William IV, 1835:

      Hi @terrysoldpennies can I ask you thoughts on this coin please. The Aa coin pictured left in my attached file is the coin you have. The right hand picture appears to match Aa, it appears shows the slight doubling? on the top of the 0. To me the right hand image appears to be Aa. Could you please let me know what you think? Many thanks
