<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 5669748, member: 110504&quot;][USER=14873]@jamesicus[/USER], those are very impressive.&nbsp; I like the contrast (very impressionistic, as such) between the early Restoration portrait and the fact that they&#039;re milled.</p><p>A little aside: the first early Charles II halfgroat I got (no pics, yet), from the very first coinage, was milled.&nbsp; Naturally, I had to get one of the second coinage, which reverted to hammered.&nbsp; In the context of halfgroats, it almost evokes Elizabeth&#039;s experiment in milled coinage in the 1560s.&nbsp; Cool to see how, in higher denominations, milling was more consistent from the onset.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
