Nonmortuus Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 I managed to pick up two nice examples of 1911 Half crowns recently. The one has the usual alignment of Obverse and Reverse however the better of the two has a noticeable axis rotation. Has anyone else come across this with George V Half crowns and specifically 1911? If this a fairly common thing? I ask as I have not seen this on any of my other George V Half crowns. 2 Quote
1949threepence Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 No, but I've got an approximately 35 degree out of true rotation on a 1908 shilling, if that's any help. So definitely in that ballpark, date wise. They were very common in the Victoriam era, but not abundantly clear when they stopped. If indeed, they ever did. Although you wouldn't expect to see one today. Quote
