nice coins !
besides it's probably a penny ? Im just guessing
A half penny makes sense, it's the same size as some George Half Pennies I have. Thanks!

Ill post some pics of some cheapies ive picked up !!!
I just hate 2x2s and they're not quite air-tite worthy.
I like 2x2s. But that's because airtites are expensive.

A suggestion: Use flips instead of 2x2s... staples near coins are just bad news.
The 1853 halfpenny is one of the more common dates, but a gorgeous classic design. I have a "thing" for 19th century British copper...

I don't have any flips, but I have never had issue with a staple. Only a matter of time, I guess.
I LOVE the Victoria design. That's my oldest British coin.

Good taste. My favorite as well.
If you look around you should be able to find slabbed mint state examples for $100 or less.
My favorites, showing different levels of toning:
The same design in the larger penny design:
Similarly, in the tiny quarter-farthing. This coin is just a little larger in size than a pencil eraser.
Slightly larger half farthing, in an amazing state of preservation, NGC MS66BN. One of the nicest pieces in my collection:
And lastly, don't forget the "elder Victoria" design... although these actually seem to be a little tougher to find in UNC. I loved the purple toning of this one, as well as the "splash" of orange on the reverse. I affectionately dubbed this as the "Rapunzel Specimen."

Ooh! I forgot about the gothic florin and crown designs... Lovely design! unfortunately I only have a couple of florins in AU, no mint state pieces of either the florin or the crown.

<< <i>Leiana, that's a nice little collection. It's nice to see you over here I hope you will be back. >>
Thanks, I will.
And yes, Clankeye, that is an MS coin. I took it from a 1964 set, but I'm not sure if it was a secondary market holder or not. The half had the most cameo on it, and the quarter had some frost, too.
Here are some bigger photos.
Thanks!

<< <i>It's a beautiful example, Amanda. You did real well with that. And like I say, a cameo MS 50c is very cool. >>
Thanks.
It's my favorite darkside coin! Mostly for the Unicorn.

Yes, I guess I would need one.
Is that a Chinese bullion piece?
