George V silver bronze high grade Victoria Penny 1d 1/- Scarce Shilling lustrous aUNC 2/6 Elizabeth II Halfcrown Scottish 3d decent grade Rare Farthing 1915 UNC George VI Halfpenny Threepence 1895 variety ¼d Sixpence 1954
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
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.
High grade example of the Rare West Indian series. There's some chatter on the obverse, but this is a coin that didn't see much circulation.
Easily a GEF even taking account of the slightly subdued lustre that you often see on these. I don't mind it, personally, and it is just a personal thing because it does not affect strict academic grading at all.
You often see this streaky lustre on this date. See if you can find a better 1915 - I'll bet you struggle.
One of the trickier dates in the series. Not an easy coin to find this good - there is a small carbon spot on the reverse, but it's a thumping example and I am very happy to display it!
These are really quite difficult to find at this level. You'll find a few high-ish grade examples if you look, but very few this good.
