Not the easiest date to fill in the endlessly interesting early milled shilling series. Good edge, strong and even strike and clear fields. I think this is a particularly nice one.
The Block lettering variety of this date is generally reckoned to be about twice as scarce as the commoner Script lettering type. Start building up a good selection in this area and you really feel like you're getting somewhere with coin collecting. Give it a try and see how it makes you feel!
It's rather nice to think of Crowns actually being spent in day-to-day transactions. For me, that's what makes them so much more collectable than modern commemorative tat. Imagine what one of these must have felt like in your pocket.
A few bumps on the reverse rim, but this is a Rare coin. The obverse is particularly well preserved, which enables the positive identification of Freeman Obverse 6 (Gouby Obv J). The closeup I have provided is centred on the die flaw between the upper colon dot and the linear circle after D: of F:D: In Freeman's words, "a feature peculiar to Obverse 6"
The Key Date of the series. Now would be a very good time to fill this gap - they are never going to get easier to find ...and you won't find one this good for quite some time
L of Half pointing directly to a bead indicates Reverse D, and Obverse 4 is distinguished by the I of DEI pointing between beads. There are 4 microvarieties of the 1956 halfpenny, and this is one of the scarcest.
