Sorry, no link...but, being unfamiliar with LizII coins, can someone tell me whether the hull of the ship looks right for the date? It's obviously weak 'or something', does it look standard/normal to you modern gents?

Looks fine to me.. either just a weak strike, a rubbish photo or a combination of both.

The only thing suspicious looking is the missing window on the right of the ship, but it might just be a cause of one of the above.

Looks a bit odd, but like you, it's not a familiar enough series for me to say if it's any more than just a weak strike.

It's probably a wearing die, or else some grease or something got onto the die. I imagine the 1967 dies got quite a fair bit of hammering, though surprisingly you don't see many 1967 'weak strikes'. It's certainly the earlier issue, not the '1968' issue which used the 1956 obverse dies.
