Well you've got all the pennies so it's probably time you started on something else. ;)

I'm not sure the reverse uniface exists - I'm certainly not aware of one. I do know there are at least 2 of these obverse unifaces as Murdoch III lots 417 & 418 both had an example with the first coming from the L C Wyon collection sold in 1901. However, there was wasn't one in Montagu (1890), who had only a full coin dated 1825. That suggests the ESC rating of R4 is way out because it is highly unlikely Montagu wouldn't be able to acquire something with '11-20 known' given he had everything else! 

This coin was ex-Whetmore 355 and Adams 628 based on the latter's notes from Baldwin, however, following his sale it was entombed and attributed to Lingford on the label. At no point do his notes or any correspondence say Lingford, so I think that was either wrong, or somebody knew something Colin didn't as he had close on a hundred ex Lingford coins and you can't mistake L's tickets.

We can say with reasonable certainty that the Barton's Metal patterns were among the last 1824 halfcrowns struck as the die is breaking up.

That might be cruel - but I did pick up this one as an upgrade the other day. Not necessarily my favourite - I have posted those elsewhere - but not bad:

You don't have to spend a lot, my 1887 halfcrown in this thread cost me £18.75 or there abouts because the (ebay)auction ended at nearly 3AM when no-one else was daft enough to be awake for a UK only sale.

I will admit I chucked 40 quid at in in the closing seconds to be reasonably sure of a win and was remarkably suprised to get it for below average :)

definitely get the "Grading British Coins" book, so you know exactly which parts to look at on the coins before bidding!

The 1897 is beautiful!

I'd ask for dibs on the next sale but fear it might break me for a couple of months!
