Jubilee crowns of George V are relatively common and found in many accumulations of world crowns. The post-1927 Wreaths are somewhat scarce but...
Yes, but rubbing alcohol is cheaper and would get rid of most of the grunge and funk. I would tamp dry with a high nap white towel if OP is...
Yes, I agree with the above. However, my suggestion besides ditching the bag(s) they came in is to soak for about an hour in regular rubbing...
Yes, that is quite likely. They are very hard to see in hand but think they may be planchet prep lines - regardless I don't like coins mucked...

Not your average 1966E shilling: [ATTACH]
I agree with you JM, but it did not reach that level. In hand there is considerable lustre but light wear over generally soft strike. In fact it...
Waterbird specimen not up to this and now that was 13 years ago! Rob, do you have pictures of the '99 sale currency 1854? or 1863?
