I just wanted to share this coin. It is a key - although I hate that term, and difficult to find so nice. Like many of us I was cruising internet and got this from a Canadian dealer for about 40 USD. Pineapples not fully struck. PCGS pops look a little high but not sure if resubmits; NGC also high as I think these have been submitted because of coin’s “key” status. The photos do not do it justice:
Pretty coin. It's good to know there is another collector on CT with good taste in Jamaican pennys. I never really started looking at world coins until I finished my US Type Set. I recently found this little beauty, it's an MS-66. At the present time I'm just looking for coins that I find attractive. If I decide to do a box of 100 this one will be one of the first in the box.
Well, I looked at the PCGS pop coins and the 66s are better struck although not as lustrous. I guess it at 64.
Very nice example of a great looking coin! Unusual to see one so bright white. Here's mine. MS-64. Not quite as nice as the two above, but I'm happy with it.
I rather like the Edward VII busts on these coin: if you look at yours it is very well struck and can make out all the details of the ermine collar, etc. Compare this bust to the crown-less bust of such coins as the halfcrown. Even catch some of the facial expression....
