De Orc Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Have just started to add my half pennies to my Omni collection, unfortunatly this is not a strong part LOL the Edward VII are all quite worn this was due to a thin rim on the britannia side of the coin, causing them to wear very badly. I also do have a couple of William & Mary but the dates are not visable and again quite worn so have not added them :mad: Here are the highlights so far 1697 1/2d Halfpenny Brittania seated William III 1694-1702 1700 1/2d Halfpenny Brittania seated William III 1694-1702 1774 1/2d Halfpenny Brittania seated George III 1760-1820 1806 1/2d Halfpenny Soho mint Birmingham Brittania seated George III 1760-1820 1807 1/2d Halfpenny Soho mint Birmingham Brittania seated George III 1760-1820 1853 1/2d Halfpenny Brittania seated holding trident with shamrock/rose/thistle in ex Queen Victoria 1837-1901 1861 1/2d Halfpenny Brittania seated holding trident, lighthouse & ship Queen Victoria 1837-1901 1862 1/2d Halfpenny Brittania seated holding trident, lighthouse & ship Queen Victoria 1837-1901 Let me know what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 The 1/2 pennies sure did get circulated around. You can hardly ever find a "modern" coin with the kind of wear that is considered normal on the older coppers. Very nice collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I found a half-penny in my school playground (just poking out of the dirt) when I was a kid. I have no idea how it managed to be there so long without being found. I have no idea what happened to it after I took it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
