I actually had a roll of these, only 1 MS64RB came out of it alongside a number of MS64BNs.

I'll get this one over to PCGS some time soon, just to add it to my slabbed set. Has quite nice eye appeal so i'd be happy with it regardless.

There is someone selling loose coins out of a 1954 roll on ebay at the moment. The coins from it look mostly brown.

To me they look mostly circulated.
The 1955 halfpenny is hard to find really pretty.

Would something like this possibly come back as questionable colour?

Not likely. PCGS are used to seeing half pennies that sort of colour these days.  They graded this one with no issues.

Yes it is.  emu666 *gave* it to me when it was a raw coin coin and I had it graded.  He certainly has a great eye.
