Got my 3 halfpennies from across the pond today. Given the minefield that is Ebay and auction pictures, I'm quite pleased overall. *Especially* with the last coin... LOVE. THAT. TONED. DARK. COPPER!

That's what I thought too at first glance, but under a loupe I'm not seeing any break in the lustre.
Even if it's only an AU or high-end EF rather than UNC, I figure I'm still ok. Spink puts it at 30 pounds EF and 125 pounds UNC. I have a total of 23 pounds into it. Sometimes ya just gots to gamble...

I thought the King had brought ME copper, but it wasn't. Well, it was- 75% copper. But not what I'd expected.
I believe it is MS and that you did very, very well on that purhcase.
As to yours, I would echo the sentiments but all I see today are red x's....
