  • Grade: Ungraded
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom
  • Country/Region: England
  • Condition: From a webpage entitled "coin grading made simple": "Very Fine - Moderately worn, with some finer details persisting. All letters of LIBERTY or the motto are readable. The rim's on both sides of the coin are full and separated from the field." I think this fits the half penny because the rim is worn to bright copper in some areas but is still full. Also, there is moderate wear in the hair of George VI. Most of the strands of hair have blended into each other. On the penny, however, you can see nearly all the strands of George VI's hair. That might make it: "Extremely Fine - Lightly worn; all devices are clear, significant devices are bold. The finer details are bold and clear but may show some evidence of light wear." I put a ? Next to XF because it looks like a soft strike. Britannia is not bold. Detailed but possible shallow relief. This is reflected in the low price. The darker image of the same coin on a white sheet of paper looks bolder.

    Description

    This listing briefly went down when someone accidentally purchased it. At their request, I refunded their money, and it is back up again.
    Note: All grading given on these coins are my opinion alone as they have never been professionally graded. I have included pictures of both coins against black and white backgrounds, so you can judge how dark the coins appear in bright light. The background truly does make a big difference!
