Great Britain
James II tin 1/2 Penny 1686 AU58 NGC, S-3419, Peck-543. The highest certified example of this year by either NGC or PCGS; considering the volatility of tin and its susceptibility to corrosion, AU58 is an incredible grade for this type and near-unbeatable. A pleasing gunmetal gray in color with a high-quality planchet, almost entirely round save for a light edge flaw at 9 o'clock, all details properly struck up and present. For the serious collector of British Halfpennies this is an unmatched opportunity to obtain a premium James II specimen, the entire denomination under this short-reigned monarch represented in this unstable metal.
