I find it a little questionable. The back side in the area of the "cud" appears damaged not just weak from the lack of striking pressure caused...
Post Strike Damage (PSD) You can tell because there are still details visible in the areas that have been hit and flattened. That means that the...
I have to say though that I like the look of the selective plating much more than a simple overall plating. The selective plating requires a...
Are you sure the weight is right on that token? Boulton struck a 2 sol and the 5 Sol tokens for them and my recollection was that the 5 sol was...
