Umm, there is a bit of a trick in this one perhaps....By the way, there is no wear on the king's features just the poor lighting of an iPhone 6s.

 

I am so surprised that there has been no response or feedback to this post.
If you like English pennies, this is a major 20th Century rarity, and especially the condition of it and without beating chest will state that it has to be amongst the very finest known (ex-Spink SNC Circular circa 2000).

 

Modified effigy, if I remember correctly.

Is it slabbed as the variety?

 

Yes, Modified Effigy. PCGS MS65RB. This coin has a gold lustre in hand and is superb. I have no idea how I managed to sneak it out from under the penny mavens noses....

 

The lack of responses may be due to your title. Is there anything special about this coin? To a collector of English coins, probably, to others, it's a very nice coin. What else are you looking for?

 

Well nothing, just thought readers might appreciate a glimpse of a very rare coin, esp. in condition. No big deal.

 

Beautiful coin. Wish it were mine.

 

Yes, thanks indeed. Didn't go over too well to others. I guess it needs to be big and gold...LOL
