Halfcrown 1896 Obv 2 Rev A -- B.S.C. 668 -- a very scarce die pairing having a wide spaced '96' - especially in this almost flawless grade, golden tone and very choice. (Note: B.S.C. 660P has now been confirmed and is the scarcer of the 2 proofs. However, B.S.C. 661 currency has not been traced and must now read '*', also the '3's in the dates of these coins can occur very close to the '9').
