Do reverse A/no B.P. 1904 half sovereigns exist? I haven't seen one but haven't been to track many images of 1904 half sovereigns to check.

Marsh says that they do but he said that reverse B/B.P. 1904P half sovereigns exist and I've looked at a few and I think they probably don't (and it is listed as unverified in the local Australian catalogue).

No love for 20th century half sovereigns I guess?

Nope. They are far less popular than sovereigns, and the rise in gold price has effectively killed off all gold denominations as an area to specialise in. People mostly buy gold as a play on the spot price.

As for the original question, it is possible that a no BP coin could be due to die fill, if there is no official evidence to the contrary.

Yes I figured half sovereigns got less love in general.

It's definitely not a die fill though - the size of the design has changed as well.
