1875 Halfpenny

[Gary]

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to determine which Obv/Rev this coin has but cannot seem to pin it down. So I`ll throw it open and see what you come up with. Using Freemans it is either an Obv 11 or 12. If the CD from Mal Lewendon uses Freeman number then it should be an Obv 12, the R´s of BRITT and REG align with a tooth.

As for the Rev, according to Freeman the only Rev paired with Obv 12 is L. However Rev L is a wide date and as you can see on the scan this is a narrow date Rev. There are windows to the lighthouse so Rev K is ruled out. This only leaves Rev J.

Does anyone have the new edition of Freeman`s? Is there a new Die pairing listed for the 1875 Halfpenny, Obv 12, Rev J ??

Thanks

And the Rev

Not being and expert on vicky coins I'd go for 11+J F321.

Me too. The neck is more curved and the nostril longer plus the H is further from the lighthouse top.

Thanks Rob, thanks Gary. I got my head around it in the end and yes I also agree with you both 11 + J, F321. Just needed pointing in the right direction.
