Had the opportunity to purchase some British Empire silver coinage today at a very modest premium over melt. I imagine this is a common issue in the U.K. but it's not something seen everyday on this side of the pond. Your thoughts on the grade and desirability of this specimen are welcomed.

I'd call it aVF.

A quite common coin, as you said. Perhaps worth just a bit over melt.

I give it a VF as well. The silver content was reduced from .925 to .500 after WWI, so the Brits could pay for the war, they were about broke. I've picked up a few of these for post-1920 content melt, some dealers don't check them very carefully.

WWII broke what was left of the British economy, by 1947 all silver content was gone.
