An excellent date and a really nice grade. Obverse 2, for those who like their microvarieties. I know I do. There are 3 different obverses for 1911 shillings.
Even with standards as high as mine, some dates you have to compromise on. Otherwise you'll be looking at a gap for a long time, and we collectors can't abide gaps. The compromise on this one is the little edge knock on the obverse.
A slightly weak strike as you usually find on these, but there's lovely lustre and barely any real wear to speak of. Check yours...time for an upgrade?
Yes it's the commonest of the four die combinations of 1913 Penny. Yes, it really is aUNC - look at the fingers below the trident head.
A few years ago I made the decision to concentrate on quality rather than quantity, and it's coins like this that make me glad I made that decision.
I always use a few key high points on the design to judge the quality of these halfcrowns: the spiral on the harp's hip the I and S of the garter legend and of course, the top of the ear Compare this with yours...
Look how sharp the feathers on the wings of the harp are, and the lions faces. Just beautiful. Compare it with yours...
In my experience, high grade halfpennies are harder to come by than pennies from this era. More difficult than most other denominations, I'd say.
As well as an unusually good strike for a 1919, the lustre is attractive too.
How often do you get to see the dots between B and M on the truncation? Compare this with yours - 1920 halfcrowns are not easy, with a slightly dodgy alloy and often weakly struck. Obv 1, Rev A. Scarce
