Exeter Half-crown

A magnificent and beautiful specimen of exceptional quality, a full round coin. Deeply toned with underlying lustre. A portrait and fine engraving seldom seen. Our appetite for such quality is never satisfied.

I've searched the net for an image of a BU 1926 modified effigy penny, but there isn't one anywhere I can see. Sorry! (That would be my dream coin).

I live in a thousand parallel universes where each has a different piece to idolise, so here's a coin from one of them. Peck 834 thick flan silver proof halfpenny and my website logo coin.

I remember that coin (from Manchester?) and did wonder about the lustre. The 1933 and 1954 are both on my bucket list, together with the 1920 3+B!

Otherwise, I have to do with this (apologies for those that have seen it before). Particularly as it only cost me a penny!
