That's an amazing variety for a 1917 halfcrown

Typos aside, is it in order to ask how much you paid for it? Nice example, BTW.

I don't mind coming clean, I am here to learn as much as anything! If only it was inscribed 1917 and genuine lol!!

I paid £90 plus postage, and pending any negative replies am very happy!

Unfortunate turn of phrase! Looking at a few dark patches near the rim in a few places, I wonder if it's been cleaned lightly at some point? However, for that money, it's not a bad snaffle at all, and I'd say was a bargain, even if it has been cleaned a bit.

Looks well struck and the fields appear uncleaned.Without seeing it in hand it is difficult to assess between EF & UNC.There does seem to be a small bit of edge damage at 7 o'clock on the reverse.Minimum it is a £200 coin...Well done.

Better to guage the opinion when you've taken your own pix Paul. Rev 3 lions bottom quadrant look worn, but that could just be the picture.

More like to be the strike Dave, as the other lions are good. Worn die, quite a common feature in that series, probably due to the number minted.
