Nice buy Stevo & about the right price i'd say.
I copied & pasted this from the blue sheet

The 1919 is one of the easiest dates in the George V half penny series, especially if sought in Mint state

A state of a coin that shows no signs of circulation
mint state and one of the few dates that is readily available in MS64 and higher.

Thanks Appleangel,I've seen these at MS63 for more than double the price
I also checked the population of MS graded by NGC and PCGS and it seems that there are about 60 examples graded MS64 or better so not huge numbers

Nice coin and nice buy Stevo! I've seen MS65's sell for around 500-600 for this date. MS63's around 200-300 and MS64's somewhere in the middle.. So overall a good buy, especially if you yourself are happy with it !

Yes Banknotelover I think it was a good price considering I
am buying to hold ATM and it should make a constructive addition to the collection

with AA. I think you paid around what its worth. Its very nice and should look good with some of the other great coins you have been letting us over lately!

I would say 60 MS64 and better is very high number relative to other dates.
