    A new addition. A nice half crown from 1940. Stuttering George VI. :) IMG_0206.jpg IMG_0207.jpg

    Halfcrowns are my favourite UK denomination! I particularly like the shield designs of Edward VII, George V and George VI. I have a fair number of them (at least 1 of each date in EF or better from 1910 to 1967, the 1930 being aEF). I never tire of them ... I long for the day I can get a 1905 in any condition ...

    They are nice, Thats some collection you have there. They are a lot easier on the wallet to collect than full crowns.
