sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 10:44 pm Not enough hair or beard detail on the obverse for a proof coin. No wear in the high points - uncirculated. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17905 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 02:39 am Other than in 1911 (Coronation) and 1927 (Silver Jubilee, silver coins only), very few UK George V proof coins were made. They were probably available only to senior Mint officials and were not made for sale to the publiv. Some do get onto the market, but the likelihood of finding one is pretty remote.

Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 08:08 am The rims of proof coins are normally very sharply defined. When handling them the edge feels almost as if you could cut yourself on them. This looks like a nice circulation strike to me. Report this Post to the Staff
zookeeperz Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 694 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 08:38 am I won't tell you which is the proof and which is the ordinary strike for obvious reasons and in the hand the proof will look so much better than in the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
