I've been trying to locate a decent guide to these online. Just want issue and mintage information, really. There's nothing in the Charlton which makes no sense.

Short version:
halfpenny 1850, 1852 medal, 1852 coinage, 1854 plain 4, 1854 crosslet 4, 1857
penny 1850 with and w/out dot, 1852 medal small - large - wide 2, 1852 coinage narrow and large 2, 1854 plain and crosslet 4, 1857
Mintages are not stated by Charlton or Haxby though I suspect they approach 100,000 or more. Most of them are very common, the crosslet 4s being the hardest to find.
