Lovely high grade halfcrown. Big, bold, and beautiful. It is very easy to find mediocre examples of this date.
The definitive rarity of the 20th Century, the 1905 halfcrown is likely to be the last gap filled in many a Collection. It certainly was in mine.
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...
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!
Really high grade example. Chunky big silver at it's best. Scarce, and we don't use the word unless the literature does
1923 has always been a good date, and really quite tricky to find this good. Plenty of duff ones about, so be choosy! Scarce
Start building up a good selection of these and you really feel like you're getting somewhere with coin collecting. Give it a try and see how it makes you feel - I find the Young Head halfcrowns to be quite emotional coins.
It's really important with these, and some other dates in the series, to know the difference between an EF, and a higher grade than that. The world is awash with EFs. Compare this with yours...particularly the obverse
Scarce. Start building up a good selection of these and you really feel like you're getting somewhere with coin collecting. Give it a try and see how it makes you feel - these Young Head halfcrowns are emotional coins
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
