Received this one today. The true colour of the reverse is darker, but the obverse is pretty much as is. Apart from the obvious pattern above "ALF", was interested to see it has the same  shrapnel and die crack indicators as the coin RG posted, ie two dots just inside inner circle adjacent to W in COMMONWEALTH, smaller dot below right leg of H in HALF, dots above P in PENNY, and the two diagonal die cracks at EN and to left of lower bar.

Thanks Robo / AJ. I'm very happy with it, but there is a bit going on with the reverse under L of HALF and N of COMMONWEALTH. Pity it wasn't as good as the obverse, but I reckon they're not making any more are they :yahoo:

Nice!
You can just make out a hint of 2 denticles above the right hand upright of the H of ..EALTH. Also another set (very weak) near PE. What caused the denticle patterns is the question.

hum
I can't really see that on either coin , maybe auto's above the H there are some small marks

might have to dig out my coin & look

ps Auto - a very hot 'ALF' there!
