George VI Davissons
Peckris 2 replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
AFAIK there aren’t any currency crowns? The 1937 and 1951 were both commemoratives, not for circulation. -
Do you have pictures? Sometimes grading is notoriously fickle, and if these coins formed a set, one might expect them to be in similar condition.

1902 Matte Proof Half Crown /Grading Askew?
Peckris 2 replied to VickySilver's topic in TPG Discussions
Wish it was mine! -
A nice enough example - some collectors are a lot less bothered about rim holes than others. I have an UNC 1826 halfcrown with graining weaknesses at 12 and 6 o’clock indicating it might have been held in a brooch or something similar. It’s never bothered me in the slightest.

Which rulers of England did not have coins issued during their reign ?
Peckris 2 replied to SiHawks's topic in Free for all
I'm puzzled about this. Edward V was never crowned king, and during his brief spell as monarch Richard III would have controlled the Mint. After Bosworth it would have been moot anyway. -

It’s not that far off VF imo. Obviously such coins look more worn when enlarged, so in hand it probably looks very nice. -

It’s not VF but it’s better than Fine. Between the two I'd say. -

both coins are nice to have - the William especially. -

Edward VIII didn't have any coins OFFICIALLY issued, but the new brass 3d was issued to traders for them to try them out in slot machines. They were supposed to be returned but a few weerent so these are extremely rare and valuable. Also, there are rare proofs of many (all?) denominations, so it could be argued you can exclude him from the list. As for Lady Jane Grey, she is not included in many lists of official English monarchs - Edward VI had tried to disavow Mary and Elizabeth and nominated Jane as the nearest Protestant candidate. Even if you do allow her, 9 days was hardly enough time to prepare and issue coins!. -

I would say “UNC for details” but the wiping and green tone makes it a less than desirable coin. -

Yes, as already mentioned this was withdrawn to avoid them being gold plated - but they're not rare, nor is the replacement reverse (which was introduced for William IV, and continued to be used until 1911 when the ‘lion on crown’ design replaced it.) You've got two very nice examples there, around EF. -
