1902 LOW TIDE HALFPENNY

[Peter]

Oui

Permet de faire tourner le ballon et voir qui salue.

It's good to see French being rolled out.

[Coinery]

Wow

Nice coin.Way better than EF money.

Because it is magnified you can see a few bag marks.I doubt it has circulated.

I can honestly say I haven't seen better.

Thanks, Peter,

It's a shame about the small spot in the right field of the reverse, though!

Oui oui. Oh, excuse-moi pour un moment, je dois visiter la salle plus petite.

[Hello17]

my dealer sold me a 1902 low tide for £5

erm... i dont know what grade, it is at least fine probably (nVF)

Sure that's a HALF penny, Patrick? £5 for a Fine LT 1d sounds about right for dealer prices. Since I've been selling I've only ever sold 1 half penny, and that was a duffer, but 12 pennies have passed through my hands.

Penny ..

[Red Riley]

Wow, well the aforementioned pennies (the H, KN, ME's, etc.) should not

be "thrown under the bus"....These in top grade are WINNERS.

And surprisingly easy to sell.

[Red Riley]

Yes but £5 was worth a lot more back then. At Least coins are inflation proof.

Yes

But a £50 coin in 1969 is now £80

A £5 coin in 1969 is now £280.

Shows you could and can still buy Turkeys (undated 20p's)

If you want to buy inflation proof coins know your market on true rarities.

Coins to avoid...H & KN,ME 1d's...46 & 49 3d's....52 6d's...32 2/-....25 & 30 2/6 all these in NVF or less are so common as they were plucked out of circulation in the 60's and hoarded.

Here's the ultimate joke : (from the 1970s Coins & Medals Annual)

1932 penny BU ....................... £50

1797 twopence BU ................. £35

And this from the days when the average weekly wage was about £25. Two weeks work to get a BU 1932 penny?? I don't think so!

I don't agree that the H, KN & ME pennies in TOP grade will not be inflation proof. But then I might be biassed

I think I agree with you (if I've read your double negative correctly ) - however Peter was speaking of examples in NVF or less, which is a whole different bouilloire des poissons.

Look, it's Saturday morning. I don't want to keep wading through my French dictionary to find out what you're talking about! Pas del y Rhone que nous.

That's really rather nice, I have to say. You'll be pleased with that, then? :-)

Yes for that price I am pleased with it. I only got it for that price because I knew the Gentleman who was selling it and had helped him out. Before anyone says he did not know what he was selling, Yes he did!

Does anybody have a low tide halfpenny with the fingers well struck up? Never seen a good one, that's all. Mine also has no wear, loads of lustre but no fingers.

Here's mine, taken through the plastic of a lighthouse coin flip, so excuse reflections, smokiness, and dust!
