Nice big bronze from an interesting reign. I like the models in that image you used, too, and that bit of broken temple frieze on the ground...
Awesome, as usual.
When I went to the Wikipedia page on stationary steam engines, it was the Corliss that looked the most similar to me, but I discounted that since...
That much is highly probable.
While certainly not conclusive, that's more plausible than anything else I've come up with so far.
$56.49 after shipping. The seller had $11.00 Priority shipping as the default, but gave me a rebate when I opted for First Class.
Looks like it could still rip a finger off! I'll bet it's been sitting down there all this time ... hungry ... waiting ...

Wow. Think it would straight grade? Is that a little pin scratch in front of Vickie's nose? Regardless, it looks like choice AU+ details to me,...
They're both awesome. It's been nearly 15+ years since I had a Brit Trade dollar, and I've never owned an 8-escudo piece (since I can't afford...
Awesome. Great frosty cameo (DCAM?) contrast. What's the PCGS grade? Did they give it a SPxx grade, or PRxx? That floating hangar in the...

That converter looks interesting!
