Very nice, you did very well. I should really buy less on line and check out the coin shop in town. There's just the one I think. Its probably one of the oldest shops in town.
Half Crowns do have the perfect size. Do you know how the planchets are made for the 50 percent silver. The US has 40percent Half Dollars that are clad a copper center with silver on the out side. The surface finishes don't seem to tone the same.
Love your work buddy!! But when are you going to start on the Britt Commonwealth and Empire. Way cooler than Pommy coins!! Tee Hee. Cheers from Sunny Queensland, Australia!!
eBay is your best bet for 50%. Sometimes you can get good deals close to or even under spot on 50% silver coins. Auctions is best if you don't want to overspend. I managed to get most of my 50% silver under spot this way. For older Sterling Silver you will pay a higher premium as they always sell above spot.

Interesting question
I don't know but It seems it's probably a higher quality so as not to show the base metal or less copper
Oh you got a 1930 half crown for the same price as the others? Good work. Clearly someone at the shop wasn't paying attention 😁
Yes a lucky find

Thank you for watching 😊
I don't plan to get foreign coins though 😂
I love this. Where can I buy silver coins from?
eBay is not bad but antique shops are often better

What did a florin and half crown buy back in the twenties?
Good question
A half crown in 1924 was £9.78 in todays money
Don't you think it's interesting that later 2 shilling coins weren't demonetized until 1993. I remember them still being in circulation.
Indeed all florins were legal tender until 93
I once got a £5 coin for only £2.50!
Very nice 👍
