I dare say George is looking mighty fine!

George looks great, but poor Britannia looks upset by the fingerprint on the reverse

Ooops!! That's a halfpenny.

Lovely red and great surfaces... hate the multiple fingerprints on the reverse. MS65?

Personally, I prefer mine with a little bit of color.

(I call this one "Britannia in a Lightning Storm"):

WOW to all!

Somehow it's cooler to imagine that the fingerprint is over 200 years old too. Mighty pretty coin(s)....

I think there was a small hoard of those around.

All very nice; bidask, yours looks to be from the same obverse die as the one I enjoyed for many years before selling most of my Geo III.
