A couple of rare halfpenny duplicates for disposal as follows. Please contact me for big pictures.

Best picture for the 1738 is this link to the Nicholson pictures.

This is the 1863, but a scanner doesn't show the amount of original colour remaining. If anyone knows how to get good scans of bronze and copper with a realistic colour for lustre, please let me know.

Hi Rob

reference your scanning problem- get a good digital Camera, its quicker and the colour is true. There is another tread on this forum about digital photography of coins, I am sure you have read it.
