1862 Halfpenny B over R

Halfpenny

1862

£3000-£3500

UK

and Ebay purchase

not an area I normally dabble in, but I do look under 1862 penny category on Ebay frequently (as this also brings up Halfpennies of which there are a few I am after) there was one listed as such in UNC which drew my attention to the variaty, with it being unlisted, this particular coin had ben on BIN for 9 days. listed at £15. spotted the telltale signs of the R under the B, and grabbed it. it is my Favourate because it is just one of those once in a lifetime bargain purchases, especially as this is rarer then the known A B and C die letters.

Nickel-plated steel

as we usually do, with new years

yea, not seen many full ones, usualy little bits of wire money.

do pop up quite often in decent grade these.

Austrian 3 krauzer.

Z4 usualy means 24, so possibly of 1624, on yours, couldn't tell you the mint but mine is Graz

was refering to the portrait rather then the coins themselves.

or anything with George III on.

these are curved...

they look cool with the ball design though.

1862 halfpenny, B over R in in BRITT, unlisted in all but gouby, who states there are 2 known (more then 2 known seeing as I have seen 3) one sold in Near fine at London coins for £2,600, this one is near VF another on Ebay in AUNC for £4,200.

bought it for £15.

not ugly

unleash the tin farthings

ugly coins? sure spoilt for choice with modern coins.

one of my current faves, love the colour of this, due to the grade which is at the higher end of the scale obverse is also weakly struck, my favourate part though is the slanted C in СПБ

never seen anything like it, both sides have a head on, very crude

James III plack?

early Medeival french denier? (say 1100 to round it)

this one i cant pin down, except a few centures after the previous

uniface pfennig

RM cant even manage the current design properly, let along manage one with little features.

found this site if you need a hand looking

depends, need a clear picture of the obverse

1695 farthing on a thicker flan

1696 Sixpence with Scottish arms to date, turned into a love token

1697 Halfpenny with missing N in BRITANNIA

probably a regional issue, from a county or a town

had this one a while

put a couple of angles of the 0 in, so you can see what remains of the curve inside it, and a little lump on top of the 0 which could easily be a 9.
