I think you should look for a better example. I would say as near to Fine as you can afford, if not actually Fine. nVG implies there are parts of the legend that may be difficult to read if not worn flat, and Edward's head is not much more than an outline. Do put a picture up if you can, but I would say that a fully "VG" example should not cost much more than £50-£70, and "nVG" (how "n" is "n"? seller's optimism?) ought to be no more than about £25-£30. As I say - put a picture up here and let us judge, but even a 1905 halfcrown in less than VG is not rare. thanks for that I will upload a photo when I get one
