Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 03/21/2022 04:21 am Its not bad. The marks are unavoidable as all were standard finish and sold loose from the bags in 1949 in New Zealand and overseas. Only about 20 proofs were made and just 2 have been found. Your coin is in gVF/aEF condition (Wear on hair, quite dull and some light wear on lettering and stars). This is an average condition for these coins mostly souvenired away. It's a great coin to have and one of my favourites. I have 13 of them (I had 16 but gave 3 away) and they range from UNC down to Good (Yep my pocket piece). Report this Post to the Staff
