e one you picture is an Anglesy D&H 250. If you want one of that variety and in that condition you are probably out of luck. That one is a pattern piece and there are probably less than a dozen in existance. Ones very similar dated 1788 (and without the W below the wreath) are much more common. High grade specimens should come along fairly often and even proofs from time to time. I'll send you a PM with the addresss of a couple of dealers who may be able to give you a hand on your quest. (Got to remember, these aren't like morgan dollars. You can't just pick up the phone, call up a major dealer and order one in the condition you want.) One of them had a couple half penny pieces similar to this on his July 4th list (1791 D&H 391) A mishandled proof (graded XF on british scale AU on US scale) for $35, and an Unc piece at $135. Don't know if they are still available.
