Internal latent image core/shell silver halide photographic emulsions

An internal latent image type core/shell silver halide photographic emulsion containing core/shell type silver halide grains, said grains comprising a silver halide core which is doped with a metal ion or chemically sensitized or is both doped with a metal ion and chemically sensitized, and a silver halide shell which covers at least a sensitivity speck of the core, wherein a homopolymer or copolymer having a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (I) is present on the surface of the core/shell type silver halide grains on which iodine ion was localized near the surface, wherein said silver halide shell comprises mainly silver bromide, iodine ion is localized near the surface of said shell in an amount not exceeding 0.5% by mol of silver halide of the shell and a homopolymer or copolymer having a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (I) is present on the surface thereof:

• ##STR28## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, and Q represents a group selected from the following general formulae (II) to (V):
• ##STR29## wherein q represents an integer of 2 to 4;
• ##STR30## wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group;
• ##STR31## wherein Z.sup.1 represents an atomic group necessary for forming a lactam ring, an oxazolidone ring or a pyridone ring, and A.sup.1 represents a single bond, ##STR32## wherein B represents --O-- or ##STR33## wherein R.sup. 4 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, and l represents an integer of 1 to 6;
• and ##STR34## wherein A.sup.1 is defined as in formula (IV), D represents a single bond, --O-- or ##STR35## and m and n each represents an integer of 1 to 6, and (m+n) is an integer of 4 to 7, and R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or ##STR36## wherein R.sup.6 represents an alkyl group, wherein the silver halide of said shell is not chemically sensitized.
