I believe so yes - I hope the coin looks a lot nicer in hand than those photos suggest!

looks bleeding awful doesn't it,    

 

thats a nice half crown, don't know what to buy next on the coin front,    recent events have soured things a bit, trouble is i always collected proofs piedfort £1 coins etc, and have difficulty buying anything other than proof now, bit of a mare really

Paulus has a decent one there! The OP coin likely has little wear but sadly has had that wipe and some differential toning that, horror of horrors, IMO would dip lightly for about 5 seconds with the mandatory light detergent and then water rinse & tamp with cotton cloth.....Prob not quite as bad as its appearance as far as wear, and the toning detracts certainly.
