1927 South Africa 2 ½ Shilling (RARE)
Please see the hairline pictures is well. This coin is rare and many don't get graded high so please check out a different coins grade before telling me as I found what I thought were lower grades then mine in quite high grades ( don't know for sure just my opinion )
Hello, my friend.
For 20th century coin, which made by full modern manufacturing technologies in the era where proof coins also already been, such condition is bit far from AU/UNC.
it is just my own opinion, of course. But something says Me that professional grader of NGC would grade it also as XF.
Im bit sceptic, and to say the true I have even bit overgraded it in my vision. But for 90+% collectors it would be strong XF .
look at the empty field. Coin was quite a lot of time in pockets with other coins.
The second secret: coins with bearded men` portraits are specific, and always undergoing more critical grades then any other coins.
And, the third secret is that British empire silver coins of 19-first half of 20 c. have mostly very low and smooth portrait reliefs.
It is still great coin, an super collectible condition! Congratulations ! I, myself collect onl;y African coins besides my main theme, and I dont have this type in such lovely shape.

I paid about $118 USD for it. Would that be a good price I bought for or did I lose money. Please let me know as I would really be happy if I got it for a good price without getting ripped off.

Hi ,all.
I collect old commonwealth silver.
Australia/UK etc and on king George V coins -obverse ,I concentrate on the crown especially on the beads then on moustache details.
Your coin I would grade ,imo , xf+ to au 53.
That does indeed sound fairly accurate but I feel like it's kind of higher? These coins are graded differently. See this example of a AU53.
