  1. An interesting read. Where did that come from, please.
  2. Dracott lists as 1 known. I know of no images If you're going down the Halfpenny Road, have a read of the halfpenny ID thread. You'll learn plenty.
  3. The dent in the forehead is unique to obverse 5 but not all obverse 5's have it. However, all obverse 5's have the scalloped, middle top leaf. For 1861 there is a range of recut, first and last 1's. Some rakish angles too. For 5 + G, Dracott lists an F over P in F.D.
  4. I would agree with 9 + K. F317. The underside of the first leaf in the top 2 rows line thru. Date width covers 14 teeth. R16. Well spotted.
  5. Hi. And welcome to the forum. What would be the year and die pairing for this? Bob.
  6. I recognise a few of these coins, having seen them on eBay, when looking for Victoria halfpennies. Past sales, may give you a general idea of what they may sell for.
  7. I've always thrown them in the copper scrap. Demonetized, so legal to weigh in.
  8. I have constant problems with gas bubbles. 🤔
  9. You should be able to get acetone from any builders merchants. Jewson, Selco etc....
  10. I soaked one of the rarest, 1953, farthing, die pairings in olive oil, overnight. Virgin, if I remember. Was surprised how much it discoloured it. Don't think I'd ever risk it again.
  11. Your reply has reached the audience here Rob. Afraid I'm not guilty of the above crime. Would be interested in seeing photos, if you still have access to some. Post here? There's a half penny that you're looking for, on eBay at the moment. Listed as such. Pricey but may be, that the grade is acceptable.
  12. That's a different language to me Chris. Besides, I do all this on an android phone. I understand the 3 linked circles. On pressing that, it brings up a couple of apps. If I press the more apps option, it brings up my contacts. How I get it to bring up the reply section, on the half penny thread, on the pre-decimal site, I've no idea. Luckily, I don't need to do it that often.
  13. Short answer. No. Never understood how to do them. 1860 halfpenny. Ended yesterday afternoon / evening on eBay. Sold for £181 by Bucks coins. 1* + A.
  14. Did a forum member win the 1860 today?
  15. Fine for me too. Both via a bookmark and direct from Google. Using Android phone.
  16. I'd agree with your pairings. Don't think I have 14 + O. Must admit, I've not looked at halfpennies properly, for a good few months now. Life's ups and downs got in the way. Huge relief to be single again tho. 😁😁.
  17. I'm sure it just needs the batteries changing. I have a clock that plays up if the batteries are low. Not enough umff to push the second hand around. Or was it the spring.,......? 🤔
  18. There's a countermarked coins group on face book, if no joy here. If that helps I'm not intelligent enough to do links and all that nonsense. Photos.......,?

    TOY COINS

    A couple I've had for a long time. May be of interest? Farthing for scale.
  20. Must admit, I've not looked for an E/L combo, so had a look thru mine. Not found one but there is a bit of fudgery going on here.
