1858 half penny

Recommended Posts

I know there are small dates and large dates but is that in the width or the make up? See below the small date as in narrow date 10 teeth has large numerals with a very big 1 and the wider date has 11 teeth and smaller numerals

1858 halfpennies are a complex group. There are 8/6, 8/7, large date over small date 8/7 and 1858, widths, font sizes and most things in between. Because of the large mintage there will be a lot of varieties, but given halfpennnies are unloved, I can't see the varieties being any more popular.
