Well for starters, it destroys pretty much 90% of its value. Maybe I'm stretching it a bit. But really, it does quite some damage to the value of the coin.
That's rule #2 in coin collecting - Do not clean your coins. Rule #1 is "Buy the book before the coin" Can you get a pic like this? It'll really help to see what's going on with your coin. Your pics get a little too soft when enlarged.
Judging from the overall poor condition of the coin, I'm going to say that it is post mint damage. Chris
I agree with the others... post mint damage. Also keep in mind that cleaning devalues your coin dramatically. If you come across a coin that is valued at $100 and then you clean it. It's worth may be reduced to only $10 - $20 or less (depending on the coin). It is also very difficult to sell a coin that has been cleaned. One other note. A forum is not like 24 hour tech support. Some members only log on once a week or so. So you have to be patient when you post a question. Don't expect to get an answer within minutes. It may take a week or more to get a response from a particular member that has the right answers. Post your pics of your collection often. We love to see pics! :yes: Welcome to Coin Talk!
thank you thank you 1-I did not clean the coin with any chemicals, I cleaned it by ps of cotton cloth. 2-how manny errors found in both sides? 3-do you know any britch place or sight to ask?
Cotton cloth with leave scratches all over the coin. We have a couple of Brits that frequent the site that are knowledgeable about British coins. Your coin does not have any errors. It is damage.
