The halfcrowns of George V from 1911 to 1926 are interesting as you can get coins that have a virtually flat head and virtually no hair on George's head but coin is virtually As Struck ! As one can see by the virtually perfect reverse and or with lustre or tone ! One of the reasons for this occurrence could be due to the Obverse (head) being more proud than perilous obverses and continued use of the die whilst striking causes the hairline to flatten. A second reason could be due to the event of the 2nd World War (1914 - 18) and the enormous amount of steel required for armaments. This shortage of steel for die making required the coin dies to continue working well past their normal usage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For this reason I have tried listing all of my halfcrowns in the .925 silver period, 1911 to 1919, with the quality of strike for the obverse of the coin. The reverse of the coin mostly appear to have fairly good strikings. The 3 level that I list are as follows:- Best: "A strong strike " (Rare as the die wore quite quickly) Normal: "Average head strike" or "Reasonable head strike" Weak: "Soft or weak strike" ~~~~~~~~~~ Coins below VF? or VF grade are worn anyway so there is no need to identify what head strike they might have been ! ~~~~~~~~~~~ I noticed after sorting out over 250 lower grade 1911 - 19 halfcrowns that it is the "P" of PENCE at 3 o'clock and the "I" of HONI at 9 o'clock that are first letter to wear away |

| 1920 |
In February 1920 the price of silver rose to record prices - to 5/6d or (0.275 pence) per ounce which meant that it cost more than the legal tender value of the coins to make them. As a result the government hastily decided to reduce the fineness of the silver coinage from the recognised 0.925 fineness to the new reduced 0.500 fineness. This was achieved in the first instant by mixing 50% silver & 50% copper together. This was quickly followed by mixing 50% silver & 50% cupro-nickel ' with discarded' bullet shell cases - the cupro-nickel consisted of 90% copper & 10% nickel. These early coins when worn soon turned dull, with almost a sort of brownish colour ! |
|||||
|
The low, flat relief head of obverse 3 makes it difficult to determine the grade as even on a choice quality coin the 'flat' head looks to be only in 'Fine' Grade !! Really good quality halfcrowns of this period are very hard to find especially for 1925 |

| 1921 |
In 1921 the metal mix was never considered quite right so the nickel content was reduced from 10% to 5% and the other 5% was now manganese - but due to this the coins quickly 'coppered'. Even new the coins had a slightly gunmetal grey appearance instead of a 'silver' colour. |

| 1922 |
The problem of getting the right metal mix continued. In 1922 the original idea of using ½ silver & ½ copper was retried this time with the blank or coin planchets being deeply blanched or bleached which meant that a higher percentage of silver resided on the coin surface - which would give a more silvered look to the coin. Again this was not the solution ! |
