I'm having great difficulty reading the surfaces of your 1887 coins because of the picture clarity. This one seems to have the raised, knife edge on the outer rim, characteristic of a Proof.

Hi coinman 

have you seen pictures of them all? Two have now been sold the one in this post I still own as well as the one headed 1887 #4.

 

What is your opinion in regards to the overal finish too. In general it seems much more whiter and slightly frosted compared to a other half crowns I have seen. Especially older ones as there not many years that produced a proof variant. I have other 1887 half crowns that just don’t seem to have the same finish at all. 

 

Thanyou for pointing out the raised knife edge rims. This is something I have completely over looked until you mentioned it. Now I can clearly see this. 

 

Cheers Des
