Need real world pricing on this half farthing.

Pictures aren't worth squat, but should give you an idea of the color/toning. I know what the Krause and Spink say, but I don't know realistic they are. I've seen plenty of these in grades up to AU, but not in mint state very often.

The prices are gone from the web page from the Colin Cooke auction, so I don't know how much theirs went for.

Great Britain 1/2 Farthing, 1844. E/N in REGINA. NGC MS63 BN.

$40-$50. Just a guess.

??????

For the E/N variety?

Krause lists it at $200 in UNC and Spink lists it at 175 pounds.

Why so low? You don't like the color?

Hi,
Colin's went for £300- it was however VERY nice.
He has sold UNC before for nearer £100

Ok, that makes me feel better. The one above cost me about 92 pounds including shipping.

This date turns up with frequency, but if you like it, go for it...

I'm either being obtuse or am not communicating effectively.

Yes, the 1844 is the most common date of the series. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a dozen of them. I probably own 5-10 examples.

But I'm not talking about a plain 1844, yet some seem to be assuming that I am.

The E/N variety is a major variety listed in both Krause and Spink. It is NOT the same as a plain 1844.

Or does everyone else simply treat the E/N the same as a plain 1844, and Krause and Spink have it wrong?

OK we got it.


If you could post a picture of the regular and the E/A obverses side by side, we could perhaps understand the visual difference too, I don't see any slash (/) between E and N in REGINA.

I agree with Dimitri, side by side pics would be of interest for me too.
