Ruler: George VI Obv: Head left Rev: Crouched Maori warrior left Date-----------------Mintage---F----VF---XF-Unc-BU 1942-----------------240,000-4.00-40.00-125-250-500 1942 Broken back Est. 80,000--8.00-95.00-350-650 — Whilst on a business trip in Vermont last week, I stopped off at Camelot Village in Bennington, VT and Picked up a bag of random coins for $10 and came across this Awesome Shilling, Which not only is the Lowest Mintage Year, but also a Variety Please make sure to also post your Cherry Picks of the Week after viewing mine.
The right side of the back doesn't touch the skirt and the line running down the center of the back is supposed to be a straight line all the way to the skirt, not a triangle at the bottom.
Still not too sure what the differences between varieties are but I do know that I have a 1942 in my collection also Although your example is far better then mine. (this example was acquired for 1.20 USD)
Condition does play a big role in the Coin Collecting world If your coin was priced as non variety, Fine grade, by the book it would be $4. I would value your coin between $10 to $15 myself though. So at ten times the value, it was a great find:thumb:
