A querry where can I see a mint mark of half sovereign of george the V in all mint and how to distingished a proof from normal one any variety on 1911 and 1912.

The mint marks are tiny letters located below the very bottom of the shield reverse.

McDonald lists only a 1911S proof with the highest of rarity priced at AU$85,000.

He does not list any proof pieces for 1912; in fact no other George VI proof pieces from Austrailia.

W/M only lists half-sovereign London proofs for 1911. The unique matte proof (for photographing)

and the normal proof piece.

I guess most dealers would be able to distinguish between a proof and an early strike.

Thank you ken,1912 s proof is new to me thanks again for the info.

there are books mentioned s after date and s below the hoof of the horse, is this s mark is present only once? but not both s in the reverse of the coin?

Egg on my face! I was so focused on the proof part of the question. I had Marsh's open to

Victoria. Everything else is O. K. I think!

Correction. The mint mark on a George V is centerof the erergue ABOVE the date.

proof images and how to identify them is a mystery to me,just pushing luck but possibility in having one is remote.

Anytime you can buy a real vintage gold or silver coin for not a whole lot over bullion then

go for it. You cannot go wrong.
