Description
Victoria Halfcrown 1878, KM756, S-3889, Young Head, MS64 NGC. A lovely coin with extra-special eye-appeal. as it is fully struck and shows every tiny design detail, with high, sharp rims. The surfaces have reflective, glassy luster, and are brightly toned in many hues of silvery blue and golden lilac iridescence. Under the color lie a number of tiny abrasions, mainly on the obverse. Overall, an exceptional example of this late date, made in what has often been called the "wretched flan" period, as so many flans were flawed at this time -- but not this one!Metal: Silver
Diameter: 32.30mm
Weight: 14.138g
ASW: 0.4204oz
Mintage: 1,466,000

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
