Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 10/27/2021 2:11 pm Makes mine look positively fresh! Maybe Otto should add his 1877 halfcrown here. That is a true lowball. Report this Post to the Staff

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 1:28 pm Yes I agree, however some of those dates are not particularly low mintage. On the positive side I would say your 2 1900 Halfcrowns are badly cleaned coins from the Elingamite and these coins have a big premium as they are "Treasure". They sat on the bottom of the sea for 65 years. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17905 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 7:18 pm Not as bad as some posted here, but my 1844 crown isn't very pretty - but the mintage figure is under 100,000!

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 12:19 am I like it, those coins had a limited issue between 1844/47 and got a lot of use all over the empire. You seldom see them in grades above fine. My guess is those coins got around! Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 12:24 am I forgot about this - at 1.8 million, its not super low mintage, but its a well below average one for sixpences and plus it is the lowest of lowballs would you not agree Some of the recent coins have been almost decent, so this might spark us into showing some real worn dreck.

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17905 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 09:44 am Quote: it is the lowest of lowballs would you not agree I can't argue with that! I once owned a George V Wreath crown (1927-36 issue) in Poor condition with the last two figures of the date completely worn off. I bought it for melt value and traded it with another collector after I bought two decent specimens. Sadly I never took a photo of it. My guess is that it was someone's pocket piece. I also once had an 1875H British penny (mintage 752,640 and catalogued at £2500 in UNC) in about VF but with TWO large holes very crudely punched in it!

MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1985 Posts	Posted 11/05/2021 11:43 pm This is the ONLY predecimal silver coin I've ever found in circulation in Australia. Found it noodling through some 10 cent coins. It took a few looks for my eyes to register that the queen on the obverse wasn't Elizabeth II but Victoria. Excitement quickly faded as I came to terms with the condition it was in. 1885 Great Britain shilling. Mintage 3.3 million. Edited by MachinMachinMan 11/06/2021 12:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
