Strange alright that he only has 1841s for sale right enough and no prev

Hi. Is there anyone here who specialises in old medals? I purchased this one a few weeks ago and could not find anything to compare prices with. Has anyone any idea of the value? I know its not in great condition. Thanks in advance.

I would grade your crown as NVF. Value around £40.

Hi Prep. A nice collection of coins you,ve inherited there. Certainly not scrap with the 1905 worth about £300 at least in that condition.Best way to clean grubby pre 20s coins is to get a piece of tin foil. Lick the shiny side, put the coin on it, wrap it air proof tight, hold it inside your hand for 3 or 4 minutes, then take it out and wash it with a sponge and warm soapy water. Hey presto like new and no abrasives involved! !

Hi again guys. Sorry, but being new to your forum, i totally lost the thread for putting posts on. Hence duplicating what i said. Anyway back to the 1841.....yes the greed got the better of me and i bought another for the BIN price of £50. The coins are not identical and could be what you call bag marks or something. Anyway i,ve requested politely for a nice one. Thank you all for your help on this. Appreciated and regards.

Strange alright that he only has 1841s for sale right enough and no previous sales in coins.

Now if it was say, a roll of these 1841 halfpennies he has, would they not all be in mint condition? The coin i bought plus the other one he has listed (twice) both have faults in them and at best, in my opinion, could be described as almost uncirculated.

So is it worth purchasing his other two 1841s for investment?

Fill your boots with them Rob!! He has another 11

Hi Rob. Its a different stock photograph than the one he used last week.

1949 threepence....now that i,ve done a double take of 10 of.....well who is going to have over 15 x 1841 halfpennies! ! I think i may ask for a refund.

Yes thats the seller Michael. Have i anything to be suspicious of? Reverse of the coin pictured here.

Hi again. Could anyone tell me if there are any 1841 Queen Victoria halfpenny forgeries going about? I purchased the one pictured here from ebay last week for £45. The seller had two identical 1841s on sale last week. One on auction which sold for £41 & one on buy it now for £45. The buy it now finished 5 minutes before the auctioned one, hence i purchased it to make sure of getting it. I received the coin today and it is slightly different with two small noticeable dinks in the neck. Definitely not the coin purchased. Now what makes me suspicious is the seller now has another two 1841 halfpennies on sale again on ebay which you can look at. Again identical, again same buying format, buy it now and auction. Sure its not possible for him to be only selling five almost identical 1841 halfpennies. Any advice appreciated.

Well i hope its not copied. It certainly looks the part but weighs 13.95 grams. Just wondering if that would be an acceptable of weight loss due to wear.

Thanks for your reply. An uncirculated coin would weigh 14.1 grams. Coins will surely weight less due to wear. I was looking for a rough estimate what a halfcrown in fine condition would weigh.

Hi. Can anyone inform me as to what weight loss due to wear on a halfcrown there would be in fine condition. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Here is a picture of a real one. Hope it helps.

Here is a picture of a real one if it helos at all.
