The detail shows up MUCH more clearly in the close ups.
I will leave it for someone else to grade.
My catalogue values for this coin are:
F 15 pounds
VF 50 pounds
EF 300 pounds
Unc/Bu 550 pounds
Ref. Rotographic Collectors Coins GB 2008.

thanks Sel_69I
There is no damage on the rim, coin wasn't cleaned and high spots aren't worn. I would say EF.
Please any opinions.
Thank you

The only reference to value on this coin I have is this. http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/halfc.htmlThat is a really nice coin and personally I would just keep it. |

i know, but I was collecting world coins for a while(I'm 26 years old only) and I've got in love with Greek coins. I don't have money to spend on them (Got merried :D ) so the only way to buy some more Greeks is to say good bye to my british coins..

Lenikas: My very first Greek coin was a gold stater of Philip 11 of Macedon.
Not knowing much about Greek coins at the time, I went to the dealer at time with the best reputation: Spinks in London.
I have an acquaintance in Sydney who was their Australian agent. The coin came through him. That was in 1975. I still have it. I still have all of the sales documentation and photographs to prove it.
Even now, I still have a huge amount to learn about Greek coinage.
That coin came along two years after I married. I still have my wife (bless her!) as well. That ain't bad! Score: two out of two!

I wouldn't call that 2 out of 2. I would call that a definite WIN WIN situation, Good on you mate |

Is there any luster remaining on the half-crown?
