1967 Halfpenny Advice Please!

Sorry, no link...but, being unfamiliar with LizII coins, can someone tell me whether the hull of the ship looks right for the date? It's obviously weak 'or something', does it look standard/normal to you modern gents?

Looks fine to me.. either just a weak strike, a rubbish photo or a combination of both.

The only thing suspicious looking is the missing window on the right of the ship, but it might just be a cause of one of the above.

Looks a bit odd, but like you, it's not a familiar enough series for me to say if it's any more than just a weak strike.

Where's Peck & Dec when you need 'em?

[Rob 3,152]

Just looks to be weak. Not worth a premium anyway.

It's probably a wearing die, or else some grease or something got onto the die. I imagine the 1967 dies got quite a fair bit of hammering, though surprisingly you don't see many 1967 'weak strikes'. It's certainly the earlier issue, not the '1968' issue which used the 1956 obverse dies.

plus the cleaning cant have helped.

and it took me ages to find the 1968 issue, they are quite hard.
