<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jimski, post: 2997426, member: 77373&quot;]1694 British Halfpenny, S-3452, copper.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]740851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]740852[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Prior to 1694, halfpennies and farthings of William and Mary were coined in tin.&nbsp; This is a carryover from the reign of James II when all halfpennies and farthings were struck in tin.&nbsp; However by 1694 the tin coinage was unpopular, so the minting of halfpennies and farthings in copper resumed in 1694. Mary died of smallpox on 28 December 1694.&nbsp; The coinage of 1695 has William’s bust singularly. So copper halfpennies and farthings of William and Mary were only produced in 1694.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only have 6 years left.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
