Normally these are around the gFine level, but this one is a solid grade, and it's one of the best I've had. Strictly speaking, it's a die flaw, rather than a bona fide variety but once these things are in the reference books, they become a must-have for the completist.
Easily an EF+ even taking account of the speckledyness. I don't mind it, personally, and it is just a personal thing because it does not affect strict academic grading at all.
All the silver from 1913 is trickier than you might expect. This is a very good example of the particularly tricky shilling.
What struck me about this coin was the beard detail. You just don't see that much of it in coins of this era. Even in higher grade examples.
With a little wear to the truncation, the hollow neck really stands out. Instantly recognisable when you know what you're looking for, but there are pointings to confirm as well: I of BRITT at a bead I of IMP at a bead It is a fairly recent discovery - Peck didn't find it, Freeman didn't find it, but Michael Gouby did, so it will always be known now as Gouby X
