Please post your graded Aussie and British Coins

Hi, I've recently started a numismatic internship and I'm trying to freshen/strengthen my grading skills. If you have any graded Aussie or British (or similar) coins I'd love to see them to practice with. I know images on a computer aren't the same as the real deal but anything will help. Thanks for any help!

I'll start. Pf 65

There’s a bunch on eBay where you can use the pics for comparisons. Some are obviously much better pics than others but it is a good resource

 

Okay, I'll put in a couple:



(NGC MS-64, formerly ANACS MS-63, small white slab)




(this one has been both an NGC MS-63 and a PCGS MS-63, found where it had sold in one slab and bought it in the other).





1902 MS-64 RB (older no prong holder)

 

That is a phenomenal 1823 sovereign @Stork . Visually looks nicer than most MS63s

 

Here is a very scarce 1862 Sydney mint sovereign. Population - 9 in MS62, none higher at NGC or PCGS. These had a softer strike than most sovereigns, maybe due to the fact that they were struck from Aussie gold.....remember the problem with the 1859 Ansells (they had to add an extra band in Victoria's hairband to prevent the coins from breaking/degrading as the gold was softer

1862 Sydney Sov MS2

 

1859 Ansell sovereign AU53, see the extra line at the bottom of Vic's hairband

 

1887 half sov PR63

 

wow.. drool drool amazing grade.

 

OK I'll try to post a wider range of grades for you to try and practice and spot the subtle difference....of course I'm doing this purely as an educational exercise and am in no way using this opportunity to show off my coins....hahahaha

Aus 1859 Sydney half sov Fine details (hard to find in ANY grade)

 

Aus 1856 Sydney half sov VF details (again an early date, hard to find in ANY grade)

 

London 1843 shield Sovereign XF45

 

Aus 1861 Sydney half sov VF35

 

1902 London 5 sovereign AU50
Out of an initial mintage of 35,000 only 8,000 survived. So a difficult quintuple sovereign to get in any grade. Some contact marks from circulation.

 

1831 William IIII MS61





And for comparison....the same coin with nice toning and MS62
I think the wear on the high points of the King's hair is the most obvious difference.....

 

1918i (India) sovereign MS64





And in MS65 with, what I think is, a lovely honey golden colour

 

1937 Double Sovereign PR66 Cam

 

1983 Half Sov PF67 DCAM
