George I Halfpenny FAIR

When Queen Anne died there were no living relatives to take over the monarchy, so we went to Germany for our new King. George I was from Brunswig-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hanover. He didn’t like living here and didn’t speak English so he spent most of his time in Germany. We have these George I Copper Halfpennies available in Fair condition. Dates will be of our choice, just as they come out of the box. These coins are now about 300 years old and were only struck for 8 years so are not easy to get. Supplies are very limited.

George IV Halfpenny Very Good_obv

George IV Halfpenny Very Good

They were struck in Copper for only three years (1825-1827) which explains why they are missing from many collections. They were popular coins for everyday trading, as such they saw a lot of use until the Copper coins were taken out of circulation in the 1860s. It’s been almost 12 years since we were able to offer these wonderful halfpennies of George IV, and it’s the first time we’ve accumulated enough numbers to offer them in Very Good, but get in there quickly, stocks are limited.

George III Bull Head Halfcrown VG_obv

George III Bull Head Halfcrown VG

The first Half Crowns to be struck after the Currency Reform Act of 1816 were the so called Bull Head type. The King hated them and they were only made for the end of 1816 and the early part of 1817. The design had to be changed, which in my opinion is a shame as we rather like the design. But the King spoke and the design was changed. This is a two year type coin, or rather it was struck for 10 months but over two years. They are struck in Sterling Silver and the coins we have on off er today are well worn and have seen considerable wear. One that collectors can afford and the last time we offered them, they quickly sold out.

Farthing (Old Head) VG

George II, Farthing (Old Head) VG

King George II ruled from 1727 until 1760. During that time they issued two different busts of the King. They are known as the Young Head bust and the Old Head bust, offered here, but don’t tell the King that. The smallest denomination issued for this Monarch was the Farthing, 4 farthings to the penny and 240 pennies to the Pound. These coins are almost 300 years old and are in Very Good condition, being the smallest denomination they saw considerable circulation and usage. Dates will be of our choice, but the more you order the more different dates we will try and give you.
