I hadn't thought of it being shaved until @Numismat suggested it. I have just checked - weights 9.88gm, which is full whack for a halfpenny, so...
That is a possibility I considered. When I measured it it came out closer to the Halfpenny size than I expected - it feels a lot bigger. Still...
This came in with the most recent haul of random coins and medals. Clearly the Obverse is George II and the reverse is a crucifix and it would...
I have just listed some decent quality Silver coinage on Ebay at auction, including some scarcer dates and mintmarks. Please have a look:...
I presume this is a space vehicle of some sort? Never followed the program: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Actually probably not Space being a glider, but...

This is the one portrait of Victoria on a coin that seems to come up least often - the Cyprus one. Here on a 9 Piastre dated 1901. Apologies for...
Of course if you want to see a better one, this will serve. As well as being rather lovely condition it is one a series of gradual die faults and...

How about these - Early English milled silver engraved. First is a 1664 Crown and the second a 1699 Half Crown: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
How about this traders token based on a 1797 Penny - Robinson Cutler of Oxford: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
1797 Cartwheel tuppence stamped up as a transportation or convict token: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
