East Caribbean Territories

A new love for my want list; the 50 Cent piece of 1955, 1965. An incredibly monumental reverse. I would post a graphic, but I would not want to do so without permission.

Sometimes I find out about coins when I meet new people. Recently, my company closed down its Westchester and Manhattan offices. One employee who transferred to Melville, where I work, was from Grenada, so I looked into its coinage. Ships ahoy, mostly, but that 50 cent design while still a British territory; wow!

I had a 10 cent piece and 25 cent piece, but I think I gave them away. I've never seen a 50 cent piece.

That would be KM #7 - - a very interesting piece & design! I picked one up a while ago in decent condition.

Maybe it was the use of the word 'graphic', but for some reason I was expecting a naughty coin. That is a really nice coin, perhaps I can find a decent one for my OFEC collection .

I have one in my list; 91 EAST CARIBBEAN TERRITORIES 1955 50 CENTS F-VF KM 7

Not the best example......

When I was in my "buy anything" mode, I picked up a 1955 proof set for my "first year proof sets from commonwealth members" collection. I've narrowed down my focus since then.

I still have a 1965 proof set.

Not a easy coin to find but the 1/2 cent is much harder to get. harasha if you want one of these four pm your address.
