The pictures are awful, so I can't render much of a judgement. The coin looks like it has been polished, but it might just be an artifact of the picture.

Thanks WYBRIT. Its my B-Date so look interesting enough to own. I have several coins I know very little about from 1958 as just a collection of B-Date coins from around the world. Kinda cool. Thanks, Again

You know, 1958 is a pretty tough year to assemble a Grat Britain date set if you are after top notch coins.

The coins available are:
Halfpenny (easy)
Threepence (hard)
Sixpence (easy)
English Shilling (hard)
Scottish Shilling (quite a bit easier than the English shilling)
Florin (hard)
Halfcrown (hard)

Since pennies were not minted 1954-1960, date sets of those years were less attractive. Also, there was a total lack of interest in Cu-Ni coins, which made top grade 1954-1960 examples quite scarce and still very undervalued today.

Thanks Wybrit.........That would have taken me two years to research that much. What a knowledgeable guy.
(Thanks, I really mean it.)
You guys are great in helping us newbie darksiders figure things out. Said with much appreciation.........Walt

Wybrit............Think this might be worth Slabbing? Just wondering, value vs. cost to grade & slab? Novalty value only?
