I just received the now famous 1862 halfpenny today from Aethelred. Fully red and looks like it was made in 1962.

(MS-65RD)

Here is the coin it's replacing:

    Should I tell Wybrit that I lick all red copper coins before I mail them, or should I just keep that to myself?image

    That one sure makes the 64RB look like the ugly sister.

    I believe the coin was on consignment.

    << <i>Excellent coin but questionable pedigree.

    It was on consignment the first time I sold it, when it was returned I paid the consignor for the coin with the intention of keeping it myself. After consideration I decided that it might be best to sell it (with you in mind Wybrit) and use those funds for something a little more "madkingish."image

    Very nice coin! Same Vicky portrait as the 1861 New Brunswick half cent. Wish my NB was as good as your halfpenny. image
