Recently acquired this half anna coin of 1862 , its a reverse 1 type , but I cannot identify the bust type as the coin is not in the perfect condition , can anyone figure out anything more from this coin?

Thanks for  having a look  :)

So I believe nobody can make that out from my coin :(

The differences in the busts are pretty subtle and concern the decoration on Victoria's clothes. Since those details are almost entirely worn off (I suspect harsh cleaning of heavy oxydation), the type of bust will probably remain Victoria's secret.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
