NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17946 Posts	Posted 09/23/2018 2:24 pm To me this looks virtually Uncirculated. These coins saw hardly any use as by 1918 the silver was worth more than face value - local tokens replaced official coinage in many areas and the silver 50c, 1F and 2F coins were replaced by aluminium-bronze Chamber of Commerce tokens in 1920. The reverse leaves look a bit flat but I think this is a weak strike - the dies were used until they wore out and people had other things on their mind apart from the quality of the striking!
