COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY George VI (1936-1952), Bronze 8-Doubles (2), 1938H, with two different finishes to the surfaces (Pr 31; KM 14). First uncirculated with prooflike surfaces, the second is uncirculated with almost full lustre, struck with a somewhat worn die. (2)
The first has prooflike surfaces that is close to being a "Specimen" and is easy to believe it is from the Heaton Mint Archive dispersal. There was a "Proof" in Ford's collection, lot 144, but it was unlikely to have been more prooflike than this example. Despite the misnomer, this is probably as fine as can be found, though obviously not up to the standard of the coin in the previous lot.
Estimate: £50-80
