Paulus, nice matte 3d there. For some reason, I never got one & also have a sneaking suspicion that they are just a bit harder to come by than might be recognised.

I'd give it better than EF based on the wear to the hair. The fingers are a red herring on these as the die became filled. You see as many with rounded (but not flattened) fingers as you do struck up ones.

That is very interesting. Would the different tonality exhibited by this one's fingers suggest wear rather than a filled die?

[Rob 3,001]

Don't know without seeing in hand, but the amount of toning removed at the high points such as the right hand and knee doesn't indicate much wear, if any. The obvious loss of metal due to friction is best seen on the hair and ear.

The high points for the reverse are perm any three from fingers, helmet, knee or right hand. Or if the rim is high then one of these once it has worn down.

I think he was referring to another specimen.

I am OK to an extent with the halfpenny's softer strike through trident hand but am not OK with going gEF or better because of appearance of metal both at that hand and also the shoulder, arm, helm and thigh, and especially the King's hair  that to me demonstrates slight wear taking it to EF, even with residual lustre.
