If it is such a rare variety, I'd suggest submitting it to NCS to remove the corrosion, and then submit it to your favorite TPG. The value will be...
Most of the coin looks environmentally damaged. Given the color and the encrustations, I'm more inclined to think buried in the ground than...
Nice variety. I had to go look it up, but I noticed there are 5 different D/S varieties in 1938. That's crazy! Someone got written up for that...
I agree with AU details. However, the corrosion spots are going to kill the value. Have you attempted to remove the corrosion? This appears to...
Do you have your whole set in a custom registry somewhere? I've been following you build it, but some others may not be so fortunate. Cool coin,...

You're less likely to question it if it looks used and beat up. I've heard of some of them intentionally wearing the coin to make an AU...
Pretend like I don't collect early copper. What is a gripped edge?
Well that's pretty darn cool. Congrats!
I do hope that these are naturally toned, but I can't tell anything from your pictures. If you have a real camera, then you should be able to post...
The obverse of that 61 halfpenny is gorgeous!
I'm not familiar with this type of coin. Was it actually struck, or was it cast? Because if it was cast, that surface roughness would not be...
