ozjohn Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) The photo of the obverse of this listing is not very good. However the photo of the reverse is much clearer and the coin has the appearance of a matte proof. If it is it could be a good buy. Any thoughts? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1902-silver-Edward-V11-half-crown-in-UNC-condition-NGC-MS61/112852523353?hash=item1a4688d959:g:LqMAAOSwIH1ankVe Edited March 7, 2018 by ozjohn punctuation Quote

ozjohn Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 Nice coin Paulus. I haven't noticed the thicker rim you mention although I have both varieties of this coin. It was the matte finish of the obverse that caught my attention. May still be a good buy for someone looking for an upgrade. Quote
