Way below Fine.

I would expect about 50% hairlines..

Coins of that grade I wouldn't even bother with as fillers :o

Finished with no bids - someone missed a bargain there - if they are short of a couple of brain cells! :D

How about this then. "Unique because it has been officially marked for cutting into halfpennies and farthings"

I'd argue with 3b as well. Note the pellets outside the hair curls. The scratches in the long cross reverse are just someone wishing to produce a halfpenny (as normal practice) and changed their mind. Probably found a halfpenny in his change before he had made the cut. The pellet in the legend is, in fact short of another, as it was usually a colon in that position. "Unique"?. I very much doubt it. I'd guess it's just as available as other Henry III long cross pennies> B)
