molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 04:23 am I recently got that halfcrown from a dealer's junk bit at about US 1,5 $. Please see and comment if that damage on the coin is pre or post-mint.. I strongly think it is post mint but I welcome and need addinational comments. Thank you.

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 08/10/2010 7:31 pm It is not uncommon for coins of this type to be defaced in this manner. In this case it was the Scottish lion that was damaged, but the English lions were frequently scratched by unsympathetic Scots or Irish as a mild political or nationalist protest. And the Irish harp can be found damaged on some coins, particularly just post 1916. Report this Post to the Staff
