George V silver high grade bronze Penny 1d Victoria 1/- Shilling lustrous George VI Florin aUNC Elizabeth II 2/- 2/6 Farthing Uncirculated Scottish 1915 Groat UNC Halfpenny Threepence Scarce decent grade Halfcrown lustre ¼d 4d
As well as an unusually good strike for a 1919, the lustre is attractive too.
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.
You just don't see UNCs from the mid-50s that often anymore. Even halfpennies. 1954 is scarcer than most years too, I think you'll find.
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.
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.
This is a cracking example for 1924. Halfpennies are seriously under-rated in terms of their difficulty in high grade. You will struggle to find better.
