Pics are blurry. Difficult to confirm detail.
So to confirm, definitely no L C WYON clearly visible under bust?
The coin has a bit of corrosion , but nothing is visible .Been staring at it for ages and apart from F28 , I can't see what else it could be . Apart from signature missing , everything else looks good for an obv 5 .Colon dots pointing in the right place etc.

Bought a partial date run of pennies on ebay . Have checked them all out but need help with this one . Have ruled out everything but the F28 .No signature visible with x10 loupe or digiscope , sea crosses border with no rocks to left of lighthouse and exergue doesn't rise at the r/h/s . Not great pics , but I will try and scan it later if needed .Any help appreciated .

Halfpennies are much more valueable than farthings - its a USA colonial coppers thing they love halfpennies
I hadn't noticed I said I got a tenner for it .I missed out a 0 .it was £100 ,I got for it lol.
Any evasion halfpennies I have sold in the past always seem to end up in the US .

That could get £50- £100 on ebay easy the americans love these forgeries.
I sold a george II halfpenny with a 1777 date for quite a bit on ebay
I had a George II farthing with a George III date a few years back . I think I got £10 on ebay for it (straight to the States ). Wasn't a particularly grade condition coin , but had an identifiable portrait and clear date . A decent return for a coin that came out of a dealers 50p tub .

I'm pleased that I prompted you. And a bargain too.
You'll be searching for a Gouby X next then?😎
I already have a Gouby x . It is a horrible looking coin though. It has been polished to death , but at least I have one .....and it was cheap .

I don't usually have anything of interest to show but I was quite pleased to discover this, amongst some eBay tat, at the weekend.
Thanks for showing this . It reminded me that I didn't have one , so I went on ebay to see what was on offer .Found one partially attributed with 10 mins to go with a 99p top bid .A gap filled for the princely sum of £1.04 lol

An 84 proof set for sale on ebay for $1100 !!!! .A specimen set sold in June for £70 . Hopefully won't be as difficult to get as the 2002

Thanks Richard . I have been messing about with it , and it seems idiot proof (which should suit me) . First attempt looks ok , not as good as yours though .I have used my own pics and not the ebay ones though.

Bramah describes them as follows:-
From what I can tell, I'd say the coin on the left (the a/UNC one) is probably a Bramah 10c. Not sure what the one on the right is. Unfortunately the coins are slightly too far away for the magnification to be as effective as it might be.
I can say with absolute certainty that Bramah was spot on when he said of the 10b that the 7 shows very plainly beneath the 8. It's very obvious even with the naked eye.
The one in this link is a very clear example of a 10b, whereas the one in this link is a 10c (both with effective magnification)
Going by the upright of the 7 splitting the lower loop evenly , I would say they are both 10c.
Thanks for the information .

Have you got the original e bay link, Mick? Might be able to see if they are Bramah 10b and/or Bramah 10c 8/7 types. Of course, you may already know, in which case, apologies.
The one with verd looks (otherwise) pretty much UNC.
I don't own a copy of Bramah , so I wouldn't be able to tell the difference .The one that had the verd isn't far off Unc , but through a loupe ,I did notice someone had lightly scratched a FB on it (Couldn't see it with the naked eye , well not mine anyway lol).
-
The verd was just surface and came of easily (treated with Verdi care ) .Just looks like some carbon spots now.

Got 2 1848/7 pennies for £26 . Was struggling to get one for that price , but managed to get lucky .One has been cleaned ,but they are nice grades even if they do have some issues .

Another date filled .Bought a couple of 1848 pennies from ebay . one has obviously been cleaned and the other had a bit of surface verd .The verd came off easily and treated it with Verdi-care , so it looks like it has a couple of carbon spots now .Hoped that they would be an 1848 and an 1848/7 , so I could have filled two gaps ( 8/6 would have been nice , ) , but both are 1848/7 .
These are the ebay pics . I have tried for 20 mins to resize the ones I took ,and have given up .

Could you post a photo of the wavy one please.
top one is my straight one . bottom is the wavy one .It looks wavy with a loupe , but magnified more ,it has a narrower top part and it looks like the wavy part is caused by the number being more chamfered at the bottom .
-
Checked my 1902 LT and it was straight bottomed , but had a search in my spares box and found another 2 .One straight and one wavy .
-
I don't like it either . The gown detail just looks mushy and indistinct .Possibly cleaned with something that hasn't done it any favours .

I had been keeping my eyes open at collectors fairs etc (Central Scotland) for one . See plenty of obscure proof sets , but no 2002 Jamaica yet .

Having a wee look at upgrading a couple of my Cuni 2 bobs and came across this bargain .

Thanks for taking the time to look at it . The seller was selling a nearly full date run of pennies .all the better ones were being sold separately (bid on an 1845 and 1837 ,but lost both by quite a bit) , but he had a couple of bulk lots, one of which included this one and an 1831 W.W Penny (which I think is rare , but my copper knowledge is limited).The rest were the usual varieties you expect to see in a bulk lot.
