Hi everyone,

Just double checking that this is in fact a no lcw variety. I checked the bottom of the neck and cannot find anything. I am not sure if it's because the coin is worn.

The coin weighs 11 grams exactly.

Please help and thanks much

Sorry it's not a no LCW.
The LCW is worn off your coin.

On the obverse, your coin has a small shamrock between the maltese cross at the front of the crown and the first jewel. Only the No LCW obverse does not have this shamrock.

Oh wow, I had no clue but that's a clear give away...I have always found it difficult to determine the variety from the LCW because many are worn...now I know :) thanks very much
