Halfpenny 1695 struck on a heavier flan of 12.07 grammes (186.27 grains) heavier than the weight range stated by Peck but lighter than the 'thick flan' variety quoted by Peck, VF and well struck, on a pitted flan with some scratches and edge nicks
Penny 1861 Freeman 18 dies 2+D Fine, rated at R13 by Freeman, probably rarer than Freeman suggests, we note there was no example in either the Andrew Wayne or Roland Harris collections

Penny 1853 Copper Proof with Reverse upright, Peck 1502 UNC and attractively toned the reverse with very minor cabinet friction, only the fourth example we have offered in 15 years, so probably rarer than catalogue values would suggest (Spink now values the coin at £3500 FDC), superior to the example offered in Auction LCA A160 (March 2018)

Halfpenny 1735 Peck 849 Large Date GVF/NEF the obverse with some light surface deposit, we note this is only the fourth example we have offered since 2003, and the first since December 2006, so somewhat scarcer than catalogues would suggest

Penny 1877 Freeman 90 dies 8+H, Narrow date, Good /NVG, Extremely Rare and rated R18 by Freeman, certainly one of the rarest currency types in the entire Bun Penny series and seldom encountered in any grade. We note a slightly superior example in our June 2010 sale realised £7020

Penny 1919H Freeman 186 dies 2+B UNC with good subdued lustre, a small edge nick above Britannia barely detracts, the reverse with hints of magenta toning, very rare and desirable in this high grade
