My knowledge about Gold sovs and half's is very limited.
What makes this different to the other 1887 Sydney half sovs Walter?

[wwwww]

It's the crenulated reverse type, McD lists for 1880, 81, 83 with 1882 unverified. 1887 hasn't even been heard of.

Have you talked to Tony Byrne about it Walter?

Will you send it to PCGS?

[wwwww]

Yeah, it has light hairlines, hopefully it'll slab.

If a new discovery with a defect such as hairlines such as this coin is given a Details grading how will they put it in the population report? (Will the report show a count of Zero?) Do they ever include an image of a Details coin on the population report page if there are no other coins known?
I love cruising the PCGS population report to see what is out there (far superior to the NGC population report) but the one thing NGC does better is it also has a Details census.
