Coinage of George V- Part 1, The Early Years

[sound 25]

Hi,

For those interested in this important period from a numismatic perspective can I just draw attention to a series of articles that 'Peckris' is kindly contributing on our web site.

The first one is entitled above and can be found under the articles tab.

I know that articles two and three are coming along nicely and will be posted in due course.

Yes I must admit the coinage of George V is totally one of the most interesting reigns ever from the early pre war well struck silver and bronze those farthings are superb in tip top grade , you suddenly find a rapid plung into poor struck and poor alloy coins culminating with the debasement in 1920.

The existance of the H and KN pennies so the royal mint could concentate on medals in 1918-1919.

The potrait change and later new designs which I find quite atractive .

Not forgeting that lovely 1935 crown of course and the wreath crowns

19th & 20 C silver is my area of collection and I would interesting if this article touches on the poor strike quality of George V silver and tips on grading them especially the 1911 to 1926 florins whose strike quality seems measurably inferior to that of the halfcrowns struck in this period..

Su-blinkin-perb! It's a great way to condense information. Good for dealer websites, and great for collectors!

That's really pleasantly written, Peck, a very nice style! A pleasure to read, Sir! A pleasure indeed! Well done!

A nice thing to have on your site, Mark! Great stuff all round!
