Victoria high grade silver bronze George V Penny 1d Florin ¼d aUNC Farthing 2/- lustrous Bun Head Scarce variety Elizabeth II George VI 1916 1/- 1887 2/6 strong strike lovely grade Shilling Sixpence Halfcrown 6d copper William IV
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
What struck me about this coin was the hair and beard detail. You just don't see that much of it in coins of this era. Even in higher grade examples.
Yes it's the commonest of the four die combinations of 1913 Penny, but it really is a lovely grade - look at the fingers below the trident head.
There's something about big silver from this era. It seems to mean business. Nice grade, too.
Look how sharp the feathers on the wings of the harp are, and the lions faces. Compare it with yours...
V.R.Court, in his legendary survey of penny varieties found in circulation at the time of decimalisation, found that less than 12% of 1940 pennies were Single Exergue Line. I think it's significantly less now, in the collecting world.
What I like about George V florins is that not all the dates are the same - there are wide fluctuations in scarcity from one year to the next. Great series.
These early cupronickels are a lot harder to find of this quality now than their silver sisters. See if you can find one better.
