1921 A Sixpence -  Obv. A reasonably well struck head strike for this issue

                             There is an flaw in the metal - resulting in a tiny bit of metal missing.

                             About 2 mm above the top of George's ear. Die cracks appear in that area

                             around the flaw. Other die cracks are a the base of the neck and from the 

                             edge (6 o'clock) to the tip of George's truncated neck

                             Due to the 0.500 silver - poor metal mixes and flaws were common.

                             The edge of the rim is very flat in places from 12 to 3 o'clock & especially from

                             6 to 9 o'clock where the border teeth are completely flat !                             

                             Rev. The lion is very well struck.

                             Otherwise the coin is pleasant.  Bright   EF+
