Super scare halfpenny - should have found it on Halloween

In that case it's unligated ligated letters with the N diagonal missing and reads LVND. Legends in this period up to the end of the century are a pain in the a**e with so many letters often abbreviated to vertical lines. e.g. like this PAXS penny reverse.

Beginning W and ending in D limits the options. There's one name in North that consistently crops up for Harold 2 - Wulfward/Wulfwerd and that ties with the visible legend. 4 mints listed - Stamford, London, Canterbury and Gloucester. Eliminate the first on the grounds of insufficient space to put ST in the chipped section and the last because there no Gloucester letters. That leaves Canterbury or London depending on how you interpret the small wedge plus III.

That'd what happens when you combine nerd with sufficient storage space. Catalogues are 3 deep by now, but I still need to fill many gaps. Must be references to other coins because the earlier one was two and a half times the price of the other. Things got reduced and relisted if they didn't sell, but not that much.

It just 79 B'win at a cost of £18.70. It's Michael Sharp's handwriting on the Baldwin ticket.

Those two refer to listings in the Bulletin. The first was in the Sept. 1949 issue, item 9356 priced at 45/-, the second was in Dec. 1951 at. 17/6d

1902 halfpenny. Low tide. eBay auction win. £56.

Wow, two proper Lis pennies, that’s some collection you have there! Sadly no date, that would’ve been phenomenal. The region of the date is unfortunately too poor (I’ve only the pictures my wife has sent me from the mother-in-law’s at the moment), but I managed to die-match it to this one.
