    Look rather crude to me there are various contemp copies out there , they are very common. As they were not worth much they were often just thrown away , loads ended up in the thames as well pretty sure its a richmond issue

    Date run upgrades??

    the trouble with 1971 is that around 17 million of the blue wallets were sold so the will not ever be rare

    Low estimates prob please sellers they can be pointed too as proof how good the auctioneer is
  10. 1797 pennies seem to have many countermarks

    1887 Florin

    The key is the wear on Victoria's hair looks at least EF to me
  12. Most coins at this time circulated at their melt value along with any remaining copper/ bronze left over from when the romans left . They probably circulated till melted down for other uses about the year 700 or so or untill decent quality silver pennies appeared
  13. The patchy tone is deff not a plus could wipe £50 off the price easy

    well I had been after a really nice one for ages and it came up on the bay for a half reasonable price so i treated myself The two rarest coins in the copper / bronze victorian period are in my opinion 1851 d over sideways d and 1862 fat 8 this ties with freeman 530 as well for rarity. I have a fat 8 but it only grades good fine

    1849 is a tough year esp in nice grade there again so are 1844, 1851 ,1852 and 1859 funny enough even though the last only circulated for 9 years.
  17. An unusual note to this is that he actually asked for a set of his own coinage and was refused it by the royal mint (though I am sure the rejust was actually refused by people right at the top ie the prime minister and royal family
  18. low mintage as well
  19. Not really a uk coin if from British Guinia
  20. The odd few did circulate esp in the war years remember many people finances were turned upside down. Many of those that circulated have been melted down now as they were seen as useless as no-one wanted them in the fifties and sixties , not collectors anyway
  21. perfect advice there are plenty out there to choose from

    Copper Half Penny Collection plus on EBAY

    Yes halfpennies always seem the most ignored of the copper / bronze series a shame really
