Gibraltan £1

[Emperor Oli 0]

I received a Gibraltan pound coin in my change today and was quite pleased with it but the I noticed the edge milling> It is not, as with normal pound coin, just lots of vertical lines, but lots of vertical lines separated by three solid pieces, with no milling. Is this a rarity or am I being silly?

Your being silly!

I got one of those the other month, and it was exactly as you describe.

I have not seen one either. I have seen most of the other denominations from my change. I do like the designs on them.

Like our obverse except legend reads: GIBRALTAR ELIZABETH II

Reverse has a three-towered castle with a key hanging from it and latin in a banner underneath.

Sound's nice. I'll keep my eyes open for any Gibraltarian £1's.

I have just bought the following half pennies. They will help me a lot in completing my date run!

Half Penny 1

Half Penny 2

Half Penny 3

What do you lot think?

[Master Jmd 84]

What do you lot think?

i think that £22 was a bit much for the 1924 one, the 1936 one was a good buy, and i think that the 1934 one was your best one bought...just my opinion though

[Half Penny Jon 0]

I really need that 1934 one. It is rarer than people think you know.

I don't know why the seller has such low 'buy it now prices'. I know that Chris bought a 1925OH BU half penny from him for a very low amount!

How to hijack a topic

Step One:......

Hmmm I'm a bit skeptical about the 1924 one. That graze by George's moustache and the top of the shield on the reverse do not bode well for it.

1936 - big mark on cheek prevents BU imho

The 934 one is quite a beauty!

hehe, exactly what i thought

I am very pleased that I bought them. They may not be perfect but they are in the grade that I am looking for. My faviorite will be the 1934 one for sure. I was very surprised to see one in such high grade, and at the right price!
