Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/24/2013 7:41 pm Joseph7420- Thanks for the input. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that this coin does not at least make low EF given the detail on the side of the face and helmet. Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/24/2013 7:59 pm flippy- Thanks! That's about what I figured. Any guesses as to a realistic value? A few days ago I looked for an example on ebay, but couldn't even find one. Now I see that there is one listing. Report this Post to the Staff

peter1234 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1351 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 02:20 am Good find. The coin has a bit of damage but it should make at least £10 on ebay. Despite mintages I believe 1950 is a harder date than 1951 in top condition. Report this Post to the Staff
