These all were "hyper graded" and really liked them, don't know if they are "VIP" or not but very nice:
Hi Jags, Nice pieces... I find it exceptional that Great Britain is never named on either their coinage or their stamps.(Understandable perhaps Stamp wise, because they were the 1st country to issue stamps to general public...but not COINAGE!) Just saying’ J.T.
It is uncommon on more modern coins but on older coins the royal titles ID them as British. So no need to say Britain when the Monarch is list as king or Queen of Britain. n dominion issue on the other hand need the Country because there were not seperate titles for the Monarch in those realm until the current Queen (ie Queen Elizbeth is Queen of Canada rather then her Father ambiguous position)
LOL. These are fairly common, except in condition. They are IMO quite arresting and attractive. Gradewise: The farthing: Proof 67* Red Cameo The Halfpenny: Proof 67 Red Ultra-cameo The Penny: Proof 67 Red Ultra-cameo In hand they are beautiful complete with obviously excellent colour and plenty of "orange peel" in the fields, which you can see in the picture of the halfpenny obverse. Liz is also titled "Queen of All the Britains".
I’m hoping you might be able to answer this question for me. I have a couple half pennies, a one penny and a six pence that I’ve attempted to find a value for. I looked them up on NGC’s website for world coins and I see a value for business strike and another for proof. The descriptions are identical for both with no clear indicators to tell one from the other. Is there something I’m missing? I appreciate any help. Thank you.
Pictures please......Proof coins will nearly always have mirror surfaces/fields with the details or devices occasionally having contrast or cameo. The edges are square and almost sharp as well. Glad to help, and posting pictures for even the likes of me is not a bad experience!
