Halfpenny ID check
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hi Bob, Thanks for the input. Regarding the possibility of obverse 5, I dismissed that option because the coin in question does not have the scalloped top center leaf that I have seen on all obverse 5 specimens whether or not they have the indentation flaw on the forehead. Conversely, I have not seen that scalloped top center leaf on any other obverse other than an obverse 5. Ergo, in my opinion, it is not an obverse 5. -

Sorry, all. I'm unable to edit, but I did intend to say Obverse 6, and reverse F as previously discussed... Thank you -

Thank you, I did mean 6 and F though... Obviously a reverse F, was looking for confirmation on Obverse. Thank you for that. -

I'd like a second opinion on what I believe to be another 1861 6 & b half penny. Although low grade, I think it can be identified. It is NOT an obverse 7. It appears to have the die break above the R in REG as well as a bit more of the O in HONI SO. Additionally, although difficult to capture in an image, I think there is evidence of a double incuse line. All indicative of an obverse 6. All comments appreciated. Thank you -
I have a recollection of somebody MANY YEARS ago having images of desirable collectibles (coins, stamps, cards, etc.) as part of the listing; and in a small font and a white or light font color (so as to be virtually unreadable although searchable) the information that " This Auction is for a Photograph of the item imaged and NOT for the item itself. A lot of money passed hands from a lot of disappointed, disillusioned, disgusted, and disgruntled buyers. Not sure what the end result was of all the complaints though CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!

I'm glad this wasn't a penny of the same date.

Hi Bernie, I tend to concur with you, both for the reason you stated and the fact that I think I can see double incuse lines on one of the leaves, which would indicate obverse 6 as oppose to obverse 4. Of course, as you state it is very difficult to determine from worn specimens, if at all especially from an image. I'll upload images of my 6 & F for comparison. -

How to catalog couns
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to pies's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Are their guide books to help properly attribute your "COUNS" so that you can catalog them accordingly?? Such as what exists for coins... How do you grade a "COUN"? -
