1860 halfpenny with R/R and possibly E/I or P?

I believe the view from the British Museum is now that no coins can be definitively assigned to Edward V (the Prince in the Tower). Previously it was believed that the halved sun and rose mintmark corresponded to this period, but now they say that there is evidence the mintmark was used by Edward IV before his death and by Richard III with the Edward legend after he had assumed the throne. I saw this in a documentary a couple of years ago.

Apparently the gold angels are distinguishable, following die sequencing, which I guess could be possible with the silver coinage, too? There can’t have been too many dies? I’d be curious to know, though, how even when discovering that one dies comes before another, for an entire series, you can say the hammer fell on a particular flan after the death of a king?

That's brill!

It’s not that far off VF imo. Obviously such coins look more worn when enlarged, so in hand it probably looks very nice.

1908 Freeman 164a e,bay find , rare in this grade much better than nearly all finds out there

1877 Halfpenny Date Widths and yet another problem with HALF, EYE, EYE, EYE As I was putting my 1877 halfpenny upgrade away in the tray I had a look at some of the others. Currently I seem to have three dates widths The first two are very similar, the last which is in poor condition, is quite a bit wider. Are there any others to look out for ? And in the same small collection of coins along with the 1877 was an 1862 Halfpenny , with what might be a repair to the Right Leg of H, maybe one to the downstroke of L and the back of F all from Half, I, I or I. I. I Very Best Regards

One thats arrived today off eBay and much better than most. 1909 DOT.
