Jamie mark Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Hi all,I'm after an 1837 three half pence, grade is not an important issue for me.thanks 1
Chris Perkins Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Someone find him one, please! He's been getting on my nerves about it for weeks.
loose54 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Hi Jamie, one has just popped up on ebay. Seems rather expensive but I have only recently managed to get one for myself and found it genuinely hard to find! Just thought I would let you know as maybe you can make the seller an offer?Ebay - 231705394600
Nonmortuus Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks guys, Jamie is on the case with it, I have seen via one of his facebook posts that his has contacted the seller. 1
Jamie mark Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks for the link, he's offered it to me for £135. For the condition would you go for it
loose54 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I bought one and paid £100 for it. It is better then the one he is selling but probably not by much. I bought it purely because I have not seen another one in ages! The Spink prices are certainly well off (off the top of my head I think it is something like £30 in VF). I guess it all depends on how badly you want one but I would suggest that it is a date difficult enough that it is probably causing a few threehalfpence collectors some difficulty so there should be a market for it should you move it on. Good luck!
Jamie mark Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 Unfortunately he no won't sell it individually to me. So the search goes on
loose54 Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I'll be sure to post if I see another! Good Luck!
bagerap Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I can offer you the worlds ugliest pair of three halfpenny cufflinks:
Paddy Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I don't know if Jamie ever got one of these, but I am after one too. Last one I need to complete my run of Threehalfpences...

I have had an Ebay alert going for more than 5 years now, and as far as I know only one has come up (referred to above) and I missed it. Another case where the books seem to have mis-estimated the rarity of a coin. (1827 Sixpence is another.) 1

I have the 1827 Sixpence - about the same grade as this one on Ebay at the moment and it cost me £100 ten years ago, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1827-George-IV-Sixpence-Key-Date/122737600194?hash=item1c93bb26c2:g:cDUAAOSw4ZNZ05md Interestingly my one has much smaller lettering than this one. Is there a recognised variety or has one of us got it wrong? :-) 1

Have you got a picture of the smaller lettering you can share?

Have you got a picture of the smaller lettering you can share? OK Nick, here are pictures of mine. It seemed to me that the date, in particular, looked smaller on mine. I tried to check out the Ebay advertised one to make sure it wasn't a mis-identified shilling, but I think he has it right. If you think there is a difference we probably ought to re-open this discussion elsewhere on this board.
Mr T Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Just checked the catalogue, mintage of a bit over 30,000 compare to all the others in the low 100,000s - I guess that explains it.
Paddy Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Finally succeeded in getting my 1837 threehalfpence - picture posted in acquisitions. Thanks for all the assistance!
