Saw this on a local Facebook selling group. Obviously something dodgy but what?

(Save the “if you know, you know” type replies - just curious as to what it is)

I'd go with GBH being a drug.

That is GHB? But close enough for you to be on something?!

Yeah that’s the most logical answer so far. But advertising on Facebook Marketplace, really?!!

Keep your hand on your ha'penny
Cover it well with your palm
Keep your hand on your ha'penny
And Molly will come to no harm...

Take your hand off your ha'penny
Look into my bonny blue eyes
Take your hand off your ha'penny
And I'll give you a lovely surprise!

I'm convinced it's drug related. A bit of a look round the Internet showed up a few mentions of an industrial chemist called halfpenny who was making all sorts of illegal stuff.

Yeah I figured it was drugs given the advert said he couldn’t say what the item was - thus it had to be something illegal. Just couldn’t figure out what drug - but then I’m old and crusty and don’t frequent the world of substance abuse.

I'm actually quite interested in the book! Looks like it has coins inside.

The oldest half penny I have dates from about 1060
