    49 3d - That is a very nice bit of information, and I think one would have to keep it in mind prior to spending a fortune on a specimen at the potential for others to be about remains. Without pirating the thread, I wonder in the recent ESC by Bull as to on what authority there is now a SECOND currency 1952 half crown?

    All 1954 coins have new obverse without BRITT OMN, so genuine

    I bought a batch of Spink sales lists from the early 60's annotated by the original owner. There are loads of quality items listed it made my eyes pop. Seems the original owner of the lists bought some beauties. Even when Coin Monthly was going I bought from adverts therein with a good degree of success. Different playing field now.

    No it is in private hands, and is a currency strike; the sole 1952 a proof. I can't say as I've seen the -54 personally but seem to recall that Mark Rasmussen had it it stock at one time. Don't see any reason to doubt the veracity of these pictures....

    And totally agree with Mr. T, the lamination has peeled off and folded over on itself before being struck.

    Great little coin though, let me know if you get round to selling any of these pennies as I would be interested!

    I got a big shock Sunday at Midlands, Semra was there and she was smiling. It was probably just a photo of a smile that she stuck on her face

    Looks like it was struck through a lamination. Thanks Mr T, totally appreciate that. Just nice to be able to name the defect.

    72 & 84 half pennies were only available in proof, I doubt Richie let those slip into his auction lot but you never know whats lurking in those mixed bags.

    That F9 has an interesting T over T in BRITT too.

    I'm no metallurgist, but I suspect either die degradation or metal flow rather than a font change
