<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clio, post: 3499475, member: 103082&quot;]Hello! I&#039;m new to the forums and just wanted to share my personal project I&#039;ve been working on for the past year or so. I am collecting a fun short series of Irish coins specifically the silver Shillings. As far as circulating coinage there&#039;s only 10 pieces which makes the set that much more fun. I&#039;ve tried other sets like the 7070 and found it to be overwhelming. As an added bonus these coins were very low mintages and they are a challenge to find in high grades. If anyone can point me to upgrades for the set please do!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the set in it&#039;s current state.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/uyD1O6A.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not a high grade but a fun bit of toning. It actually looks much different in hand but PCGS couldn&#039;t quite find the right balance. A friend of mine has given his style a go and you can see the same coin here:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/kqbjEtP.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/SldrDzU.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This example hase been very recently upgraded with a nicer raw example. It is currently in route to my friend for photos and possible submission. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/RutGUKr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is an XF45 I subbed myself to PCGS. It wasn&#039;t really worth the sub but sometimes it&#039;s nice to have your things protected.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Zaoi99A.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This year is a tough one and I lost out on a nice MS example not long ago. For now this one will do. Strong strike and great bit of detail left on a hard to find date.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/7bYpHQB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is currently the nicest example in my collection. MS64+ graded by PCGS. 35&#039;s can be a bit more common than 30-37 in nicer grades but it certainly doesn&#039;t detract from such a nice coin. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Hh3HB0J.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the key date of the series and climbs to 1k+ in MS grades. No doubt it&#039;ll be a minute before I can find and save for a nice example. This one is off to PCGS for grading and I am hoping for a low AU grade.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/4AfXamI.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is not nice haha. It&#039;s a common date so perhaps I&#039;m neglecting it more for that reason but I&#039;ll pick one up when I see a nice one.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/0LrJK16.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>AU55 graded by PCGS. I subbed this one as well knowing it was about that condition. I will no doubt be looking for an upgrade in the future. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Uoibhzw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have actually sold this example and subbed a more recent example I think is nicer. However it&#039;s not graded yet so I&#039;m sharing this recent one anyways. MS64 by PCGS. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoyed that a bit and I look forward to spending a bit of time on the forums. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
