Very NGC 63 PQ, Rare Mule Variety of the 1961 Half Crown, 2/6. Rare in Choice BU high grade.  Gorgeous choice Brilliant uncirculated condition, with almost full field luster, sharply struck detail and one of the best I have owned. This one has Sharply defined Hoof lines, Facial Features, Leg and body muscles. Fields are almost full luster and exceptionally clean of field contact with some lite hairlines on the horse's rear and field.  Very rare since many were heavily circulated. The Mule was struck using the dies from 1928-1937. The dies are different with the following details, the "2" the base of the 2 is longer, the small "d" is open and not closed, the "PM" is more to the left of the Horses Hoff, the "I" is closer to the "Q" and the Horse's Tail is Wider with more Hair. This one is very nice high grade that shows nice high point detail, sharp muscles, nice original fields, sharp high rims, harp is very well defined along with the strings and decorations. A rare find and a nice addition to your collection. Estimated striking of this Variety "Mule" is 50,000 coins which is extremely low and this date were heavily circulated and very rare to find in mint condition. A very nice candidate for NGC or PCGS
