<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 12303968, member: 96746&quot;]A 1788 Soho pattern halfpenny struck in silver plated copper, Peck 964. ex Brand and Norweb. Not one of Mrs N&#039;s finest, but it was cheap enough.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527613[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1718 Silver Proof(?) halfpenny. ex Hoblyn, Bousfield, Parsons, Peck, Noble and Gregory (for which read Baldwin&#039;s basement) collections. This piece matches the description of Peck&#039;s piece in his book with the exception of the weight. Footnote 1 on page 200 describes the weight as 157.3 grains, but the file cuts and general description matches. As the weight of this is 115.7 grains, it appears that a typo was made, with the 1. of the footnote being part of the weight. This lower weight is actually in the right ballpark for a halfpenny on a thin flan, with the weight increased pro-rate from that of the thin flan proof farthing.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527614[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Henry VII facing bust London halfpenny with mm. halved rose and lis. ex Shuttlewood and rare. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527615[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Aethelred II CRVX penny of Southwark, the moneyer is Aethelweard. ex Doubleday</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527616[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edward IV heavy coinage halfpenny of London. ex Lockett.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527617[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Charles I York mint halfcrown, struck from Besly dies 2F. ex Hamilton-Smith, Lyddon and Mitchell collections</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1527618[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
