The other thing you see is the monogram of Gilroy Roberts, who designed the reverses. It should be the same monogram he used on the Kennedy half.
The mint marks are on the reverse, position varies by denomination. In the case of BVI, I don't think there are any non-FM coins during the period...
They're a bit tougher in higher grades, but even then, they're not as rare or as valuable as their catalog values imply.
The idea I always float is that the mint should go back to making pennies from bronze (as they'll be sold at a premium to face value anyway) and...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I don't know why anyone in their right mind paid to have this graded, but I'm glad they did. OGHs are my favorite.
It is a cost saving measure for sure. Lower relief means the dies last longer, and it's something they've been doing with all denominations over...
Yep, definitely an S (and proof). Is the edge brown like a normal quarter?
1997 is by far the most common date of the current-size 50p and is worth its face value unless uncirculated.
They are identical in both composition and value to US dimes. They have been minted at US mints in the past, but newer ones such as yours are not.
It's worth noting that the highest denomination of coin in common use is 1 yuan. That's a lot of coins.

It's a top pop example of a popular series that can be tough in gem grades. That price seems pretty reasonable to me considering the current state...
[ATTACH] Got this pair today. The Elizabeth ones are bulk bin fodder and show up often, but I hadn't seen a George VI one before.

The comment is probably just a typo. Everywhere else in the listing correctly says 66. As for the bids, I'd consider shill bidding a possibility...
I think it's just a very hazy/impaired PL. I got a proof Bahamas 50 cents with a somewhat similar appearance a while back, until I saw it in hand...

There are coins from 1961, 1973, 1978, 1980, and 2004. Catalogs also mention coins from 1979 and 2005, but these are either incredibly rare or...
It's easier to list the ones I don't believe exist, which are the 1979 2 Afghanis and the three 2005 coins.
Separate names with a comma.
