Yes it is ...it looks more red on the hand. I will take some good photos later with proper lighting. At least PCGS think it is red :angel:

now I can see the colour more clearly. The 1911 is hard to get in RD compared to the 1912 of which is quite easy to find in 64RD or even higher.

I had a look over you half's
I do agree with others re: harsh clean and dipped clean
but I have to say that there is something about that 1951 Pl halfpenny - I have matched your pics against 2 of my own - unfortunately the obv is very fuzzy on one side - it seems to come in looking genuine but it is a bit odd looking
do you have scales that can weigh a halfpenny?
harsh cleaning can make the look a bit different

ps
that 1911 is very sweet indeed

Thank you Robbiegal, I don't have a scale to weigh them as such. I am not very fussed with the coins.. It is just sitting here now... I have lost some money, but at the end of the day it is my fault. Seller provide photos, I should look at them carefully before buying...

PS - I love this forum ... Folks around here are seems to be very helpful... :wavemulticolor:

it is good as well to load the piccies up to something like photobucket and then paste the links
although having said that, photobucket isn't working for me right now
here are 2 snaps of a 1951 pl halfpenny of mine - I was comparing your coin with mine
cheers robbie

Hi Dcoin, yes, that 23 looks odd. Wonder how it would go at PCGS?
