Hi rey

 

it looks like a Calcutta mint (no mint mark)

 

i would question it being a real coin in a few points (but hard from a scan)

 

if it us real it should grade VF+ BUT if the scan is a good reprensentation of the coin then it looks cleaned/dipped

 

if it is not a fake the value is in the $45-$60 range

all the best

How odd.. 1950 1949 1949 1950

Here is another George VI, one with an interesting history so to speak. During World War II Canada's Nickel producers were very strained due to the war effort and in 1942 it was decided that nickel would be suspended as a coinage material for the duration of the war. Experiments were initiated to find a subsitute for the 5 cent piece. This led to the adoption of the 12-sided coin made of tombac, a kind of brass. The ida came from the British 3-penny piece first issued in 1937. The tombac 5-cent piece was given its shape so that when tarnished it would not be confused with 1-cent pieces.

 

This one has some nice toning on the reverse, I wish the obverse did as well, probably should have turned it in the album many years ago.

I wanted to get all my Canadian Nick's out of the way. How about the 1943 it seems not just are country changed the metals.

[RareSov]

I dont have anything 1943, any 5c nor anything Canadian. Time to buy a 19something-C sov

[rbrown4]

The 1916 C would be a good one.............

Wishing I'll try... I got the 1879 London out of the way.

Rey, is that the 1P or 2P version?

[rbrown4]

Yarm,

 

Again you will need to help me on this one. Whar are the differences between the 1P and the 2P versions? There was no information on this one in our collection.
