1930 Penny
The photographs - and the close-up shot of the crown - will do most of the talking on this superb 1930 Penny.
With a full central diamond and the seventh and eighth pearl, this 1930 Penny is at least six quality levels higher than the average 1930 Penny that has a quality level of Fine to Good Fine.
This Extremely Fine 1930 Penny has
- A full central diamond that leaps out and knocks you in the eye.
- Eight clear pearls in the crown. The seventh and eight pearls to the left of the central diamond on the King’s Crown is one of the first areas to wear during circulation. The presence of the seventh and eighth pearl is evidence that this coin is of the highest rarity.
- The oval to the left of the central diamond is intact.
- The edges are undamaged. The fields are undamaged, glossy and smooth. The toning is an even chocolate brown.
- Minimal wear to George V’s eyebrow and upper ear.
- Lower band of the Crown is intact.
- The reverse is particularly impressive with well-defined upper and lower scrolls and inner beading. The edges are intact and unblemished, the fields amazingly smooth.
And while all the details on the left may seem very technical … it is the complete and strong central diamond, the complete lower band and the seventh and eighth pearl that places this coin in a league of its own and justifies the supreme quality level of Extremely Fine.
