I just got this 1827 1/2P in today in MS64BN, much better looking in hand with dark blue over brown toning around the rims, copper colored fields and rich brown devices.

Looks like your wife is going to dislike NEN even more.

Nice coin!

Yep, if Chris and Tom ever come to Houston they would be well served making sure she doesn't find out.

Excellent!

Coin looks great. I saw one very close to that one on NEN but I believe it was sold

I like the look of that Halfpenny, in my mind that is what early 1800s British copper is supposed to look like.

Love the coin.

Find the prongs distracting.

That's old ground that's been much covered before.

Suffice it to say (again) that I don't think NGC should use the prong inserts on anything below a certain size, or on pieces that do not have lettered or ornamented edges. (Although I do agree it's a step in the right direction for lettered edge pieces).
