Going through some of my non us old silver coins and would like some opinions on the overall condition, grade & value. Plus info on the pronounced rev clashing. Is it value adding or just common for this series/year? Thanks Brit collectors!

**There is also an obv die Crack from the rim through the N to the hair bun... Very lds!

Yes, almost the entirety of lower victoria is firmly outlined... is the die clash unusual or value adding for the series?

Until fairly recently, British collectors tended to regard error coins as "defective" and therefore worth less than error-free examples. Things like die clashes are now increasing in value, however, especially for the modern machine-struck series such as this.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I'd say it's VF. Not sure of value but certainly more than just bullion.

You'd get $25 for that on US ebay, we love XF Victorian coinage.
