I got this one some 20 years ago and put it in with a complete George V Halfcrown collection of currency issues into a custom Capitol holder. All...
Ah thanks. The '62s out there but the '66s not so much. I now have an AUish but pleasant backup coin now.
So this coin came up and has been on my wait list for some time. it is the Surinam 1966 (NOT 1962) One Gulden. This coin was struck at a time that...
66PL - just compare this to your average 65 and it is clearly better. The photo IMHO limits the guess as to PL vs. DMPL. Cheek clean, nice fields,...
I will post in this space the grade from NGC (if it ever gets back) along with a couple of others....Hah, that will be a minute or two!
Ah, JTL, very good. That is exactly right IMHO. I actually have the very rare 1843/54 groat as well, but it is really a pile! LOL. To the OP,...
Ok, I have had this coin for several years and am not sure of the date. This despite prooflike status that does not show up in the photos - it is...
I think I will get this graded at the Baltimore show. In hand, and looking at my other "Cabs" it should be about a 63, believe it or not. Anyway,...
The 1945 graded MS65 and the 1959 graded MS63.
Exactly, and this brassy material loses lustre and presentation rapidly & they are usually quite dull. The 1959 5 cents is quite hard and IMHO...
Ok, these coins are VERY scarce or even rare in true uncirculated and thought I’d share - the first one cost a bit, LOL: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
What type of lighting? I just use natural or occasionally the kitchen overhead - not exactly museum type...
I believe it was as the early to mid-60s that the Royal Mint had a lot going on. I have copper nickel off metal strikes on the penny (1964-1967)...
I was a sucker for this and bought it recently, sadly there is no full date:
Yes indeed. I think I will get it graded by PCGS at Baltimore along with a couple others and get their photos. I tried again this AM and no better...
I really hate that I can't seem to take good pictures with my iPhone 11S. Many on these boards take lovely pictures and I just can't manage. I...
Good information. Now I wonder what the outer layers composition is?
I have often wondered about how this coin was made. The Brits used to blanche (acid bath) the 0.500 planchets for the debased silver coinage...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here’s one that looked good to me at least:
Yes, and my set coins look like that as well. You may want to try the ammonia which will strip most of the oxidants and leave the coin looking...
