Hey there colonial junkies!

Doing a bit of research on silver halfpennies. Does anyone have any good pics of the varieties known in silver?

I believe Dave Wnuck had one for sale earlier this year

Check CRO's sold archives.

Bowers' colonial encyclopedia lists a silver variety for a number of the copper halfpence varieties. Got any pix?

Check with Eric P. Newman

I do...will post some later. I am pretty sure it is not silver, but copper that has been treated to give it a dull metallic turquoise tone to it.

I did have one for sale earlier in the year.

PM me and I will send you the images if I can find them on my hard drive, if you wish.
