Yes, this is a corroded coin almost assuredly. I have an halfcrown of 1963 struck in copper and will picture it shortly....LOL.....BTW, the NGC...
I recently got this off eBay - just beautiful! This was ripped off by the US Mint and a lesser version put on the 2016 platinum 100 Dollars coin....
Well you all had great guesses as it graded AU55. I too was worried about a details grade but in hand looked better than most - I hoped for a 58...
Addendum: Mintage of 140. Beautiful orange peel surfaces in the fields in hand - I guess this shows in the pictures.
I really like this design, simple yet striking. This date (1969) seems quite a bit scarcer as well, nicely preserved to boot: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
This recently graded and tried to show it in pictures - I like the design, interesting grade. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Looks to me like a straight grade and would go 53. Some areas of friction & as an example check the LIBERTY letters... That grime drives me crazy...
Ah, thanks Greg. I have ever so slowly been building a collection of OMS British coins of the 1920-1970 period (not that many but a few)....I may...
Well that gave it away but I was blown away by the sake of this Panama 1904 10 Centesimos coin yesterday. true, the nicest I’ve seen, BUT wow what...
Followup: I did eventually about 6 months after the above post get a year 2000 SEVEN piece Bahamas set - there are FIVE coin sets available but...
AU details, cleaning - this from PCGS. I have seen a lot of these crowns and agree with the AU, but I have seen much worse to straight grade....
Agree with Paddy, and I seem to recall some articles written abut the prevalence of many specimens, seemingly higher grade coming to market a...
Well it graded 64. I really am not feeling that and even in hand it looks the 66/7 grade.
I would agree with the 66, maybe 67....Will post in a couple of hours
I got this coin several years ago and while not the best, was pleasing. So I left it for grading at the TPG. Below are pictures & because obverse...
This is one of my favorite OMS coins, other than the 1963 halfcrown in copper. It is a 1967 Penny struck on the flans for the florin and weighs in...
Interesting. Yes, I do have a number of OMS strikes including all of the pennies 1964-67 in apparently copper nickel alloys, but also several...
I am wondering if this was the composition of the Halfpenny as well - iron? Hard to believe....BTW, Rob, please let me know if you ever want to sell.
I suppose whatever it would bring at auction as this is right up my alley and have in 30+ years seen no others. I would imagine a couple of...
This has never been written up anywhere I could find: this is an UNCIRCULATED 1970 GB Halfpenny, BUT it is an off metal strike that NGC...
