<p>[QUOTE="7Jags, post: 26633493, member: 78719"]Yes, I wonder. What I didn't really post about was that the legend is a hybrid between the 1953 Obverse 1 and later types. If you notice there is not BRITT: OMN which would make it the later post-1953 obverse BUT as pointed out the "I" of DEI points to the space between border beads - the usual post-1953 halfcrown has "I" pointed to border bead. I will take a picture of the post-1953 type with"I" of DEI to border bead.</p><p><br /></p><p>1953 Obverse 1:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698563[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1953 Obverse 2:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698564[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1954 with changed legend, NO BRITT:OMN but "I" points to border bead:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698566[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd specimen of normal 1954 as above:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698567[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here again is the OP coin with "I" to space:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698568[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
