Just picked up this half sov

am I right in saying its a low shield?

if so shouldn't it have J.E.B on the head?

comments please

From Iverson

The vast number of dies being used were the Low Shield Reverses again coupled with no J.E.B. type Obverse dies (DISH L516). There are however, a small number of High Shield coins to be found (DISH L514- 515). It is therefore reasonable to assume that given the vast number of coins required that older unused High Shield Reverse dies were dug out of storage and used once again.

I would put the figures at around 95% being Low Shield and 5% High Shield’

It appears that a tiny number of Low Shield Reverse coins exist with the J.E.B. initials on the truncation (DISH L517). These are extremely rare.

so low shield and no J.E.B is common

thanks for clarifying 

I couldn't get my head around it reading "marsh"
