    I bought this coin as a forgery in November 1986 for £14 and sold it as such a few years ago for £30.

    I will say that sometimes there is a loss of lustre. One method that works well also is the ammonia diluted with no dye. I have used it many silver and one of the very best for nickel or copper nickel coins....

    Thanks for your reply 👍, yes it makes sense now. I was looking at my Freeman book, but I was in the wrong page 1908 half penny that's why I was confused.

    Your top picture and the one Peck posted are both the scarcer REV C and probably were the difference is.

    This was the very first image that came up on google, so unless a coincidence, I'd say not rare:

    I agree, many years since I've seen one for sale on Ebay. As like waiting for a bus and two turn up together!

    Getting rid of some tarnish definitely makes the coin looks better. But only time will tell how it will tones from now on.

    If you like something different, there's a book called "Newton and the Counterfeiter". It covers the period when Sir Isaac Newton (the scientist) was Master of the Royal Mint (1699-1727) and his dealing with William Chaloner, serial counterfeiter and con-man. It's an amazing story and well written. I have done a book review at https://coinparade.co.uk/newton-and-the-counterfeiter-book-review/
