    Vicky, I got caught out in the same Spink sale to a degree, bought a lot of halfcrowns, some were great, some where not in hand. No issues were mentioned on the description but I should have asked to see the Obverse side of the coins as only the Revs were showing in the auction guide. Over all happy with the purchase but the one coin I really wanted had issues which meant the price paid was OTT. Lesson learned.

    I ended up getting the 1874 shilling after looking at the one in my collection that was not nice enough. I also got the 1874 Halfcrown, but it may have hairlines that are not obvious on internet site - so it went cheap...

    The halfcrown looks nice Vicky!

    I'd be mighty happy with both of those!

    I love the toning but the dink in the field on the 1893 and the light scuff on the 1896 means, at some point I will upgrade them but I picked up both for well under what I would have expected to normally even with the slight issues. They are ones I will no doubt upgrade but will also keep because of the toning.
