The second one is a real flaw rather than a dot,however in a different position than the normal dot as you said. Prax have you seen any of the flaws on other 1897 dates ,such as the normal one. If you have forty DOT ones it no wonder people are stuggling to find them

Forget finest known.........we all Know it means nothing What i meant john is CGS have graded to date FOUR different types /varieties of 1920 Half crowns. Some of the others are graded a lot higher and would assume a lot nicer ....i would hope so . Weather you would use CGS or not is your choice Is yours just the standard one ,if there is such a thing as i doubt many other TPG notice different types. Although i maybe/probably .......... wrong I dont want to get involved and just giving an opinion,however can i ask how many you have sent them ? If the answer is none then to say they are rubbish might be a little unfair. Pete.

PS I would not submit my coins to CGS if they were the last grading service on earth. They are rubbish entirely devoted to their commercial interests via London Coins. Various people on this forum suggest submitting coins to these people for ascertaining that they are not fakes etc. without any proof as to their expertise in this area. I would treat their pronouncements with caution as I would with their grading.

I would have thought CGS would have refused to grade it in this condition. I have seen better coins get rejected As its variety 4 I take it, it must be rocking horse....

Its CGS ......Variety 4.......... Swanny. I dont have a clue about them but assume this is scarcer than the other 1920 Half crowns ?. Doesnt look the most attractive reverse

Another to share from me….. Not a rare coin but harder to find than the 1806, particularly in higher grades. Nice too that it has some original lustre remaining.

Thank you Bob I will be ordering one today

Obverse pictures to the left (according to D&H). No idea what the greeny patch is, possibly weird toning? Doesn't look to be anything to worry about though ...

Strange, I usually have it open at work from 9 (8 UK time) in the morning at work during the week and haven't had any problems. If it keeps happening put up another post I'll have a look and see if I can find what's causing it.
