Coin Found in Grandfather's Collection

Not a half crown. I’m pretty sure they didn’t make half crowns in that style.

1840 to 1887 they did, I have several.

 

So do I. OPs coin is not the same. Even as worn as it is, you can tell that.

 

Horsehockey! You're just acting like a little kid whose momma caught him with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Honest ma! There was a cookie on the counter and I was just putting it back in the jar."

Next time, think about what you're writing. Then you won't have to make up a story when someone calls you out for it.

How can you tell that, its worn out including the edges, like I said until the other side is shown and the size no one knows what it is.

 

The victoria bust isn't the same between OPs coin and a half crown.

 

Well if you have some like you say you would know there are 4 different Young Head and Bun Head busts, if it was a Penny or even a Half Penny and it was that worn the bust would not be raised like the OP`s
I have about 80kg of worn Penny`s waiting to go for melt.

 

Could be a Rupee or half Rupee. Is it silver or copper? I REALLY would like to see the flip side.

 

You didn't call me out for anything. You can keep thinking that you are right with your nonsensical comparisons, but it won't make you more justified.

 

So which half crown would it be? Certainly not the one you posted earlier. Please educate me.

 

I think I agree. You others are jumping the gun. Let's get the metal and size and a look at the reverse. It could even be one of these tiny buggers, which was minted in Birmingham, before Canada even had a Mint:

 

That still isn't the same obverse as OP's coin.

 

I think it is a Vicky Penny. I only have one and it is more worn than the OPs coin.

 

Queen Victoria for sure looks like a penny to me

 

Yeah, you're right! It's not worth nuthin' to nobody. Who wants a worn out coin, anyway.

Again, misrepresenting what I said. Just because the coin isn't worth grading doesn't mean it is worthless. I never said that he should throw it in the garbage, did I?

 

You just don't know how to write!

Chris

 

You don't know how to read!

 

If coins could talk, just imagine the stories the worn out coins could tell. Much more interesting story wise than MS coins that have stayed in collections for years could.

Don't get me wrong, I like MS coins and will always choose them over circulated ones if I can. Just saying the worn ones deserve a little respect too.

 

Apparently you don't know how to write either, bud. It appears that you need a question mark after the last sentence. Don't criticize me if you are just as bad.
