sandy3075 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 No offence to the citizens of Sri Lanka is intended but I use historic name as I intend to start posting british colonial coins here. We'll start with the unusual 1905 half cent of Edward VII. Unusual not in the color - nice bright almost orange - or condition but the partial brokage showing up on reverse - specifically crown jewels touching the inner ring and the bust lower end cut showing through the date.

Art Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 That's a great coin. The clash is very evident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
